Muzhingi defends Two Oceans

same time.
When he won the 56km Two Oceans Marathon, Muzhinji was the reigning 89.7km Comrades winners.

He became the first man since South African Derek Preiss in 1974 to hold the Comrades and Two Oceans titles at the same time.
Henry Moyo of Malawi came through in the dying stages to steal second place in 2:08.35, with Muzhingi’s countryman, Collen Makaza, taking third in 3:08.45 last year.

The trio of Muzhinji, Makaza and Moyo have entered for the race tomorrow.
But the limelight is likely to be on the champion who is aiming to retain his title and better his time.

If he wins the 44th edition of the Two Oceans Marathon tomorrow, the season Zimbabwean runner will then aim to complete a double by making another attempt at the 89th Comrades where he finished third last year.
The organisers of the 2013 Old Mutual Two Oceans Marathon are hoping 26 500 participants, in both the half and ultra-marathons, will enter.
