document.write("by Steven. Congratulations to you and the entire field of starters. Your courage and dedication is overwhelming in the face of a few niggly pointers:- why was the Mayor of Dump-by-the-Sea not present and why was Zwele the new Premier not present during the awards ceremony, especially since this event is such a money-spinner for the province - were they giving it 'the silent treatment'?<br /><br />Why, on a cordoned off route, do the cops use their blue lights and sirens? Why is there so much support-vehicle activity - including helicopters? Surely it's time for a green Comrades?<br /><br />Why are early finishers expected to do the VIP trip even as their cross the line? After an ultra marathon, surely the duty of the organisers is to the welfare of the runners (re-hydrating and nourishing), not the fresh VIP gauntlet waiting to shake the limb hands of runners clearly exhausted and disoriented?.
