Even today I can not get over the feelings.Any amount of consolation will not be of any use. I am touched by the action of Balaji who adorned your neck with his medal, the real motivation to earn it came from your DNF!Venuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11759151572588261835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7749590.post-19699663714697150412012-06-08T16:55:02.483+05:302012-06-08T16:55:02.483+05:30Ram, this came as a complete surprise but just tel...Ram, this came as a complete surprise but just tells me that this stuff happens to the best of the best - it was just not your day. I know you are going to go back and conquer Comrades soon.

Hats off for the great spirit.

And we've all seen many instances of that in the past. I'm sure with more resolve, you'll not just defeat the demons the next time around and claim vengeance, but also come back in your next marathon strong! You're a huge inspiration for all of us!Navin Sadaranganihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00248326997770127885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7749590.post-3827734973813185692012-06-07T22:59:56.707+05:302012-06-07T22:59:56.707+05:30You've been brave. The courage you mustered to...You've been brave. The courage you mustered to even signup for the race and to even get to the start line of the legendary Comrades speakes a thousand words about it. Remember what Carl Lewis once said about taking part in the Olympics - Its not winning or losing that matters, but taking part in it. It holds good in your case too! Take a bow for having dared to challenge yourself. Do it once more and you will send the demons running helter skelter!Karthik Vijayakumarhttp://blog.karthikvijayakumar.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7749590.post-65650513295502134302012-06-07T22:48:31.492+05:302012-06-07T22:48:31.492+05:30Don't agree with the statement, "I meekly...Don't agree with the statement, "I meekly gave into the demons" - That's not the right phrase after 54k of running some of the worst terrain in horrible weather conditions. In fact, you braved the worst of the race and you just needed a bit 'extra' - hydration, energy and most importantly luck - to see through you in the next edition. I am sure you would do it!Balaji Snoreply@blogger.com
