    After 20 years of travelling to Uganda, it’s been an absolute joy to bring my wife & son to the Pearl at last. The come back against SA for 3-3 last week was among many highlights. Sincere thanks to everyone for the amazing hospitality. This is a very special country. Asanti Sana

    Thanks to everyone in Uganda who has tweeted me about the commentary here in Tokyo. I’ve been inundated with messages. I’m commentating on the race live tonight. I’m sure Cheptegei, Kiplimo & Chelimo will do you all proud. Watch out for Katir though - he’s had a great season. 👊🏻

    .⁦@ExploreUganda⁩ ⁦@RwenzoriMarathn⁩ The altitude was brutal on the half marathon & I was broken at the finish, but I loved it. A steady 1.46 and first Mzungu to finish. Next year I’ll need some more training! 2,000 took part. I can see that doubling in next 3 years.
