spiked:14/20c shoes: Asics Gel Trail Sensor 5
First race of the Big 5 O week and my first ever forest run. The pit at #1 had me off to a superb start with loads of grid searching. Made sure I slowed it down after that and focussed on ticking off features along my planned routes which helped. Very slow in the terrain and we all got caught in a massive lightning & hail storm for the 2nd half of my race. 15 & 16 out of the forest on the boulder outcrops were pretty scary...

Mountain Biking 5:12:03 [4] 76.72 km (14.8 kph) +1445m
shoes: Scott Yecora
The plan was to cycle from Nelspruit to Waterval Boven, mostly off-road and ascending the escarpment twice. Turns out my MTB fitness and heat tolerance was lacking somewhat and I eventually limped into Kaapsehoop after a beast of a climb up the back of the Berlin plantations. With 80km to go, I decided a lift was in order and bombed down to Ngodwana, from where Seth took me the rest of the way to Boven.
Max speed 70.7km/h down the tar to Ngodwana :)
