Be prepared for Comrades
Updated | By Darren Maule
Darren prepares you for all the ups and downs ahead of this weekend's Comrades Marathon.

12.4% for men and 15.4% for women.
What I'm saying is that one has to accept the undeniable fact that, by these statistics, thousands of people are going to experience one of the most disappointing moments of their lives.
What I would like to do for you, in the highly unlikely event that you are one of those few (thousand) that fails to complete this epic challenge, is to prepare you for how you want those pictures to come out.
Here are some celebs who you can learn from if you need to show your disappointed face should you not manage to cross the finish line at this year's Comrades Marathon.
There's the George Clooney "silly me" face.

There's the "why me?!!!" face which Andy Murray is famous for.

There is the introspective "where did it all go wrong" face which Pete Postlethwaite nails.

If push comes to shove there's always the denial "I didn't get the memo" face which Katy Perry is very good at.

But whatever you do, never do a Lily Allen. The tantrum "get out of my face" face.

If all else fails, you could do the"give me the medal or I'll shove my 12 inch heels up your..." Nicky Minaj face
