My Comrades Marathon 2010 Video – The First Stab

by Tanvir on June 13, 2010

Well, finally I was able to download all the clips of me at the various checkpoints along the way at the Comrades Marathon (from the Comrades website). I combined them together into one and included a few snaps of me as well, and voila, I had created my first video! The quality is not great, due to the various format conversions and editing involved, and maybe someday I will sit on this again and try to do a better job. Meanwhile, enjoy my first video, it had to be Comrades!

Awesome Tanvir! Maybe some day, some year we’ll do the up run together…

Johann: Sure Johann, I too hope I can make it again back to SA someday, and an UP would be a great reason!

Awesome video Tanvir! This wasn’t the year for me to run Comrades, but watching your video gets me all teary-eyed when I think of how it must have felt to be a part of it. Congrats again and thank you for sharing your ultra-running experience!

Hey Tanvir – Congratulations on completing the race!

Thanks Reiko! Actually, I need to do more with the video, frankly, the quality is quite bad. So, whats your running calendar like nowdays. I remember the last time you were here, you were running the NYC if my memory serves me right? Did you make it through for this years NYC lottery?

Thanks Hrish! This is one race where just completion is the biggest motivation for most runners :)

Hi Tanvir! Yes, you have a good memory! I have guaranteed entry to the 2010 NYC marathon. Woohoo! This May a group of friends and I tried a relay for the first time. It was 185 miles over 26 hours in NY. It was so much fun we are doing another one in September. Here is a little video we made: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_8rwA_11sQ Your Comrades experience has truly inspired me, so this November I am planning to run the JFK 50 miler, one of the oldest ultra-marathon in the US. I am excited and also a little anxious! Run on Tanvir!
