What a busy trip!
My fiance Claire finished 2 Oceans in 5:55 in her 1st Ultra- a well earned bronze medal:)
Justin Hand did a 4:20 in his Rockports!!! Madness. Apparently he does have a few blisters.
It was great to see a South African finally win again. Well done George Ntshiliza. Hopefully you have enough prize money to pay lobola!
I did 1:30 for the 21, and then ran the last 17Km with Claire (and they wouldn't let me enter the 56km cos I couldn't qualify, so much for not being fit enough... thanks organisers. I am fit!)
We climbed the mountain, in not great weather, spent the night up there, then hiked all around the top and down in glorious weather the next day.
Then just for good measure, Claire, Dave, Annabelle (Claire's brother and his wife) and I rode the 2 Oceans route in reverse on wednesday.
A lot to fit in on my 1st proper Cape Town holiday trip, and a lot more interseting than boring Comrades training that had to be squeezed in between all the other action.
Only a few more weeks of Comrades prep as raceday approaches. I will have to get out in my new shoes to wear them in!
