	MarathonGuide.com - Two Oceans Marathon
		The date was 2 May 1970 and they were starting the first Two Oceans ultramarathon, a race which over the past three decades has grown to the second largest in South Africa, boasting some of the most spectacular scenery of any road event in the world.
		The Two Oceans was the brainchild of Dave Venter who, like many visionaries, met with nothing but opposition when he first mooted the idea of an ultra race around - and over - the mountains guarding Cape Town, the legislative capital of South Africa.
		The 13320 entries, 9200 for the ultra and 4120 for the accompanying half marathon, is a record for the combined event since the introduction of the half marathon two years ago.

	Grun's Two Oceans Marathon 2002
		I was hesitant to venture all the way to South Africa to run a marathon, but Cape Town and its surrounds turned out to be a diamond in the rough - not only in terms of their sheer beauty among the rugged mountains, but in the contrast/dichotomy of it's economic classes as well.
		The marathon was the original excuse for this trip, but it soon became an after-thought as I began planning the trip, and later as I became entranced with the people, location and vacation itself.
		The Two Oceans Marathon is 56km (36 miles) and the Comrades is 54 miles.

		The manner in which Isaac Tshabalala fought back on two occasions eventually to beat Desmond Zibi was a display of immense guts and character and he certainly earned every cent of the R60 000 he won.
		Griffiths will take much of the credit for that as she came in to her debut Two Oceans after racing only one standard marathon and was fearless.
		I have run five different versions of the Two Oceans finish and definitely rate the current one the most difficult and I believe that the 3:50-four hour runner can expect to run between one and a half to two minutes slower than previously.
