Legendary long distance athlete Zola Budd has just completed the Two Oceans half marathon in blustering wind conditions. Running in the colours of The Unlimited, Budd finished in a time of 1 hour 24 minutes and 49 seconds to be the second veteran lady to cross the finish line.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am really pleased with the results as I targeted an 84 minutes finish. The race was great, but the wind was slightly problematic. The start went very well and I managed to get close to the front runners and did not have too much traffic. I managed to maintain a consistent pace throughout the race. The hills were quite steep, but it was not as bad as I expected,\u201d mentioned Budd at the finish.<\/p>\n

According to Budd, her result today is proof that her training for the Comrades is on track and her time is a good indication that she should be able to achieve a silver medal in the Comrades. Commenting on the race, Budd said: \u201cThe atmosphere at the start of the Two Oceans is incredible and the support along the whole route is absolutely amazing. This puts this race in a completely different category.\u201d<\/p>\n
