Andrew Porter is also a South African...Heya Kraig,<br /><br />Andrew Porter is also a South African. He did the Himalayan FKT following a relationship breakup. Nothing like running in the mountains for 28 days as relationship recuperation therapy.<br /><br />Of interest, Andrew still holds the solo male record for the Drakensberg Grand Traverse (DGT). He did a North-to-South run in December 2009 and set the record at 61h24m11s. He then went back in at the end of May 2015 and did a solo South-to-North DGT for 45h08m. <br /><br />Ryno Griesel and Ryan Sandes hold the men's group record for the DGT of 41 hours, 49 minutes (their measured distance was 209km). This was set in March 2014. Of interest, Ryno held the previous men's group record of 60h29m set in April 2010 with teammate Cobus van Zyl. <br /><br />Lisaadventurelisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02054511421198362034noreply@blogger.com
