Comrades Marathon video
It’s been nearly a year since I joined Team World Vision on it’s epic journey to South Africa to run the 56-mile Comrades Marathon. I had videoed a bit of the experience and the run itself. After a couple of failed attempts to properly upload to YouTube (too big a file) then loosing it somehow—then having a third beautiful little boy!—the upcoming anniversary sparked my interest to return to iMovie and start over.
I have put three segments up on YouTube under the titles Comrades 1, Comrades 2 and Comrades 3. The last one is only 6 minutes and where you’ll get the most entertainment via suffering! Please forgive the low-rate editing. I hope you enjoy.
While much of my time as of late has been spent taking care of the boys (Jack 4, Luke 3, and Hawk 8 months), I have managed to find some time to swim, bike and run. Motivation has come directly from the recent inclusion of paratriathlon into the Paralympics in Rio 2016. I’m back on the National Team and will race in London in August for Paralympic promotion and, most likely, at the London 2012 Paralympics as an exhibition—non-medal event.
I’ve also been playing hockey 2-3 times a week. Our bush league team plays tonight for the Championship trophy! Wish us luck. We’re the Parking Lot Hackers!
Wishing you the best,
Paul Martin
