Phnom Penh 50k Ultramarathon






Is this the coolest race number ever?  









 I don't wish to run the entire Phnom Penh 50k Ultra-marathon.  So the organizers provide a rider who gives me his bicycle at the 30k mark and then he proceeds to run the final 20k while I ride this bike to the finish line.


It is a spectacular run at dawn - across rice fields, past magnificent Khmer temples, and through villages. 






 Children keep running out to yell 'hello' at us.  







I run at 6 minute per kilometer pace with Denise from Canada who had mastered the Khmer language enough to banter with all our supporters lining the course…
