But you shoot yourself in the foot, because listed there is Oleg Kharitinov who is the best Comrades performer in that list, I recall his massive sub 32 min last 10km one year. He is the guy who had the WR for 100 mile at the time, and still managed to jog to the win
Why is that?
Oleg Kharitinov was a world class 100k runner and had the 100 mile worlds best.
Yes, but he is one of those Comrades runners.
BTW, your original "bunch of SA 2:10 marathoners' is false
Rufus Photo, marathon PB 2:19
Timothy Munzulele, 2:24
Bethuel Netsh*tenze 2:11:44
Calvin Malatji 2:35
Lutendo Matoto 2:19
Lucas Nonyana 2:22
Peter Muthubi 2:19
Oleg Kharitonov 2:21
In other words, they were all listed as Comrades 'performers', and only one is close to 2:10
My own PB is even better than one of them
*I had to asterisk the name of one of them because of the stupidity of the forum's filters. I wonder if the forum itself is Ivy League
