BAC’s Strydom looking forward to Comrades’ milestone

Bronwyn Strydom will be one of the youngest recipients of a Comrades Marathon double green number when she crosses the finish line in Pietermaritzburg on June 9.

“I look towards June 9 with excitement and gratitude, although I’m extremely nervous for this run. It’s always good to be nervous and not over-confident for such a big race but I won’t lie, the nightmares have started.” “I clearly remember sitting down on the pavement 2km from the finish insisting I was done. My strong-willed mom sat down next to me and said she would also then not finish. Feeling guilty, I got up and said 'let's just finish this' and hobbled to the end.
