Ran my First Marathon Ever - Sanlam Cape Town Marathon - Wasn't What I Expected! + REVIEW
I just finished my first marathon in the mother city for the Sanlam Cape Town Marathon and it didn't go as I had expected it to go. My training went really well and I expected to perform much better, but I couldn't prepare for this.
I travelled all the way to Cape Town from Johannesburg so that I could build up the excitement to do it, and have the pressure to finish it since, well, I'm already there. And I wanted to run in a completely different environment than what I'm used to.
After getting new shoes weeks before, and getting new socks I was prepared for war. They got me far, but my body failed me the more it went. I wish I could explain what happened lol. I was told it was an easy qualifier for Comrades, and I found out the hard way that it wasn't. Or maybe I wasn't ready yet.
This run definitely didn't feel normal. Some KMs in and everything in my legs started to hurt including my hips. I don't want to use that as an excuse. I'll come back next time and show myself what I was actually capable of.
The run felt like it just kept going on and on and would never finish. I'll have to train and prepare better for next time.

As a Xhosa boy child, you are required to go through initiation as a rites of passage to Manhood. On this day, he comes back from the mountains where he was circumcised and taught for almost a month. His family and friends celebrate him and bring him gifts, slaughter a goat a...

I just checked your official results after watching this video. Looked like a suffer fest! Are you returning this year for redemption? Hopefully you have a GoPro this time round or film on a phone with OIS.
Hahaha It was a suffer test of note. And no, not this year. Maybe next, and I will be ready. GoPro would be great! And I need a proper watch so my phone doesn't die on me
@@iam_aphe Now that's the spirit! So long as you get back in there next year, it's all good. Whether it's this or another marathon. Rumours are that this will finally make it as a Marathon World Major event and tickets next year will be harder to get, and more prestigious.
Now I can't wait to see your first Comrades blog 👌🏾
Well done man! I'm running my first ever marathon this year, Cape town marathon. How was the elevation??

Hi brah. I really appreciate your videos. Makes me miss home like crazy. Out of curiosity, why doesn't CZcams copyright the songs on these videos like the "izolo by maphorisa"

I absolutely looooove this. The intro is everything. I think more than anything it’s the nostalgia! Also, your family and your home ngathi ngabakuthu mfondini.
Ndiyabulela!
Two African brothers sharing their truths. So much wisdom. So profound. Let those with ears here and eyes see because it the truth is hidden in plain sight. And you are literally spelling things out. Hope this message reaches those who are looking for it
Beautiful Aphe , thanks for the content brother
Shout out bro!
CPT chills with....
AMF stand up!!
Woooooooooooooo oo
Devil’s Peak mountain I think 😅
Lol Ohh aight got it!
It's gonna be interesting to see how you navigate this, see I have this theory right, God gives us two sets of gifts some will make us happy fulfil and teach us about life, the other set helps us serve the people around us, and fulfil our purpose as a piece of the collective consciousness now as a multi talented artist that line becomes blurry all the time as you are constantly interacting with the collective consciousness but yeah basically good luck broe I hope you experience teaches you more about yourself and contribution to this world of ours
Eh that's pretty interesting bro. What you said just made so much sense to me. I should definitely be able to navigate all of this the right way. It's all about timing and season.
Great work. Influence of wisdom. To come back here in the future is gonna be so powerful. Blessings King! 🙌
Thanks a lot fam!

Hello -- I showed part of this video to a university class today here in the U.S. We just finished reading a book about how COVID has affected burials and other gatherings in eastern Cape. It was very helpful to see what contemporary umgidi celebrations are like! Thank you for making and posting this.

Bro am educated too at University of Johannesburg but I find this video messed up how on Earth can you speak English the entire video, Supposed to be damn proud of your language... IsiXhosa masithethwe ndoda, abantwana noba bethi sebefundile kodwa bazazi ukuba bangobani kwaye bazidle ngolwimi lwabo. next video at home please use our Rich Xhosa.
I appreciate your comment, kodwa ndifuna uyazi ba not wonke umntu is fluent nges'Xhosa. You guys should stop expecting abantu bafane Nani. Askhulanga ngok'fana. And also, it's our right to speak how we want. Besides that, I was speaking English to someone who is Tshwana so sithethe islungu to each other. He's my friend from Jozi. Not everyone there was Xhosa boetie. Yekani umane nifaka izinto zenu kuthi without context or full understanding. Enkosi.
