Very few cyclists on the road this morning for some reason...

With Ryno and Cobus. Ran the main hiking trail in reverse for a change.

Felt awful for most of the run, cut off the eucalyptus red loop and then cut home early when we came past the parking lot.

The main loop around Midrand estates.

Teamed up with Mac for the Petzl Night Adventure at Randpark Golf Course.

Teams set off at 10s intervals. We were 8th off in a field of about 100. 6km of running, interspersed with 6 obstacles.

We struggled to get the 'idea' at #1, loosing about 1.5min in a memory exercise. Had to make up places again.

#2 was an inflatable obstacle, made it easy by getting some good speed on the approach.

#3 was downing a tot of something at the club house bar. I managed to find the apple juice. Mac found what he assumed would be water. he he.

#4 was at the golf driving range. We each had to hit a ball at least 50m. I got mine well past 120m, straight down the centre on the first try. Mac would have gone way past the 200m marker, but they're still looking for the ball in the suburb of Windsor way off to the right....

#5 was a leopard crawl under a cargo net.

#6 was a 200m paddle to and fro across a small pond. Hit the water first, so we got to disturb the sediment and all the biotics in the water.

Came home first, but also managed a win overall by just over a minute. Having previously run on this golf course definitely helped and we hardly used the map. Made up some good time on the paddle.

C • Fun 6

Ran the main trail with Ryno, Carla and Theo. Ryno and Theo feeling a bit fresh and eager despite plans for a slow run.

Had to leave early, so pulled off the trail at 8.1km mark at 49:20 (vs 55:20 at that point on Sunday). Came back to the car park via the main dirt track through the centre of the reserve for an extra 2.6km.

Out along Brakfontein and back.
