I had lost so much time in first half due to knee inflammation and somehow managed to cross half-way mark with only 18 secs to spare, but i saw the same gentleman with prosthetic leg around 47k when i had given up all hope. Managed to drag along and reached 81k mark at 11:20 and missed the last cut-off. Reading everyone's stories post finish i realize that everyone had their share of pain and mental battles to overcome. I did not see the finish line this year, but still very much inspired to do it next year hearing the incredible happiness that all finishers experienced!Swapnilnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13605973.post-45693709088431088682012-06-16T23:50:27.661+05:302012-06-16T23:50:27.661+05:30Inspirational.

I saw you cross the finish line of Comrades on screen really close to Amit and Neepa and wondered who this awesome Indian Woman runner is and also wondered if you were from India? :-)!. I could feel the ectasy and the pain and also the tears welling up and streaming when u saw your soul mate in the crowd ( have experienced similar emotions on a few races) and after crossing the finish line. You dared to dream and turn the very dream to a reality and like you said every such journey humbles and just makes one a better human being! You rock girl. Congrats on an amazing race and achievement and may all your future dreams in life come true....cheers!priya.cheershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15770709448259280497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13605973.post-13596000235175672292012-06-14T18:16:09.608+05:302012-06-14T18:16:09.608+05:30No, Vineeta, you don't know me (nor I you, exc...No, Vineeta, you don't know me (nor I you, except what you've shared on the blog), but I knew there were three Indian women at the Comrades, and was curious enough about the third to attempt a google search.
