Sole Destroyer 2012
It soon became apparent that listening to Britney Spears, "Not a girl, not yet a woman" just before I got out of the car to run a half marathon... was not a wise move. The chorus looped through my head for the next 2 hours, as we crested hill after hill along the Sole Destroyer route.
That was pretty much my only complaint. All other complaints were directed at the dirt road. The race is probably the best organised in East London, and as sister Julia pointed out, you always get a nice shirt. Expect to see a lot of bright orange runners on the roads of East London.
Running races are basically big groups of liars who get together to complain about their tendancy to enact free-will. We all gave some strangers 40 bucks, then complained about our decision to run up lots of hills. A mysterious culture.
