The 2015 Two Ocean Marathon
Distance: 56 km
Ultramarathon # 8
Country # 33
Date: April 4, 2015
My Time: 6:12:15
By Dr. Barefoot Sidy Diallo
The 2015 Two Oceans Marathon in Cape Town, South Africa, is my last race with sneakers. I had already done two marathons with minimalist shoes in the previous 14 days, namely the Rome Marathon on March 22 and the Limassol Marathon on March 29, but given my short experience with minimalist shoes and the much longer distance, I thought that my best option was to do the Two Oceans Marathon with old sneakers.
I ran with Jola Ksiezniak, Patrycja Golos and Piotr Golos from Poland and Dayo Akinbode from Nigeria. This was my last race with sneakers. The day after the race I visited the former Robben Island Prison near Cape Town, where Nelson Mandela was detained in a cell for 18 years.
My book Running Barefoot for Human Survival is available on Amazon in paperback and e-book format (French edition: Courir pieds nus pour sauver les humains).
