# Roadrunning: South African long-distance ace Bruce Fordyce warned athletes not to be fooled by the slow start to this weekend’s Two Oceans Marathon in Cape Town. He had completed the race over 56 kilometres 32 times and the half-marathon over 21.1 kilometre another five times, while also winning the iconic Comrades Marathon a record nine times. Seventy-year-old Fordyce says runners should start slow over the easy first half and save energy for the tough second half, including Chapman’s Peak and Constantia Nek.
