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…
There seem to be loads of races around the holiday season! Great pictures...
