Paul Selby is hoping to complete his first Comrades in 12 years on Sunday — by walking it.
The veteran of 24 Comrades‚ who cannot run because of a fibrillation that kicks in when his heart-rate gets too high‚ will start his 90km Odyssey at midnight on Saturday.Selby will begin on a 333-metre route through his garden and home before heading out at 6am.
“If I finish it in 18 hours I’ll be thrilled‚” Selby said‚ adding if he wasn’t done by 6pm he’d complete it back at home. Selby‚ who raised R250‚000 for the Cancer association of SA by running a double Comrades in 1999‚ is looking to raise money for the Bedfordview Safety Forum’s feeding scheme run under the auspices of St John community healthcare organisation.
