Two Oceans Ultra Marathon – Part 3

By Steve | Published: March 25, 2013
So folks... the time has nearly come. Chances are the next time you hear from me will be from South Africa as I am being picked up tomorrow morning at 4:30 AM to be whisked off to JFK airport in NYC.

Two Oceans Ultra Marathon – Part 1

By Steve | Published: March 6, 2013
In 2012 I felt like my race calendar was getting a little stagnant. I still loved what I was doing but some of the races I was doing were starting to feel like just another day at the office. I have raced 11 ironman triathlons and 20 marathons and God knows how many shorter course events – and I love those distances and races.
