2 Oceans Time

Well, it's Easter so my wife and I are down in Cape town again as she takes on her 2nd 2 Oceans Marathon. With organisers claiming the title 'world's most beautiful marathon' it certainly is picturesque around these parts ('when the weather is nice' shouts the Durbanite in me)

Claire, taking a rather chilly dip at Kosy beach... the Atlantic a more appealing option than the bath for a pre-race icing session

This year Claire is also taking on the Comrades Marathon, and her training program has been structured aound using 2 Oceans as a stepping stone to the longer ultra. I am going to be on the sidelines this year having chosen to take a break from training after 2 years of virtually non-stop training.
Apart from that we'll be hitting the slopes of Table Mountain on foot and MTB with Claire's brother Dave and his wife. Check out this awesome movie Dave and a friend made on his self built trail known as "the other Woman" (a name coined by his wife...)  http://player.vimeo.com/video/39570248
On Sunday afternoon we'll be heading up the mountain along whatever path is most weather friendly and camping out in the Mountain Club hut for the night.
Most of all we'll enjoy taking some time out to relax, enjoying sleeping in late and relaxed sundowners. Just a pity we couldn't bring the pets to enjoy it with us... we miss them!
