(Ultra) Marathon Men

Watching the sun set over Busan, Korea's South coastal city of five million.

A few of us have ventured here to support our two friends, Justin and Whit, who are running an ultra marathon here.
The ultra is 40 miles (65km) of unadulturated harshness, run over a mountain range that peaks steeply on five occaisions - the highest peak they have to climb is eight hundred metres high! Just to make it as mentally difficult as it is physically, it is also run at night - they start at 4pm and hope to be done by around three in the morning.

And so, as they strode out fearlessly into the evening sun, we did what any self respecting support team would do - we went to the pub.
We headed down to the Haeundae area to an Irish pub for some rarely experienced pints of ale and a plate of bangers and mash.

The boys should be done in the early hours, hopefully still in one peice and up for a beer and a blip!
