Race: Sanlam Cape Town marathon

Looong day, kept up with the 05:30 bus until 21kms. Then went over to run nine mins, walk one minute. Time: 05:55. Just glad to have finished!

Run: Satori Camel Run

Not running the hills made a huge difference. Not so dead at the end and time 5 mins faster than last year! 02:08. 



Race: John Korasie, 30kms


Started, well. Made it to the top of Red Hill without stopping! In fact made it to 15kms before my first stop. Graham was in Durban, so race was solo. Forgot my watch and instead of run walk strategy I pushed myself for less stops. Mistake. Run / walk strategy is definitely the trick. Also, I experimented with Barocca instead of Gu's. Mistake II. 

All four seasons in one race, pelting rain, winds, sun!

Was dead at the end and time abysmal!
04:10!

Back to training and drawing board.
