Adventure Racing race (Trekking) 1:30:00 [4] 9.5 km (9:28 / km) +387m 7:52 / km
shoes: Salomon Crossmax Red #2

Kinetic Full Moon race from X-Tribe near Broederstroom & Hartebeespoort Dam

Very hot conditions again, peaking somewhere in the mid-30's. Race with Cyanosis (Mac, Nathan, Ryno) in an all-male team.

First leg was a trek from X-tribe, up the Toppieshoek and Oberon mountains before heading off to the Pelindaba picnic spot via the Preller House trails. Ryno got to abseil off the cliffs. Got there 2 mins ahead of Sugar Monsters (Alex, Janneke, Craig, Rob).

Adventure Racing race (Paddle) 1:30:00 [4] 11.0 km (8:11 / km)

River and dam paddle from Pelindaba picnic site to Oberon take-out. Water level was higher than I expected given the drought and the water quality in the dam has been worse. Managed to avoid all but 1 sandbank. Kept the gap at about 3-5 mins.

Adventure Racing race (Trek) 40:00 [4] 4.0 km (10:00 / km) +200m 8:00 / km
shoes: Salomon Crossmax Red #2

Short trek from Oberon back to X-tribe via the Oberon mountain saddle. Nice leg.

Adventure Racing race (MTB) 1:16:00 [4] 26.0 km (2:55 / km) +349m 2:44 / km
shoes: Specialized Epic FSR Mthn 2014

Bike leg from Broederstroom, via the Skeerpoort to a farm just beyond Remhoogte.

Adventure Racing race (Transition) 10:00 [1]

Quick transition, but had to plot some more maps here, national anthem playing in the background before the RWC Semi's between SA and NZL.

Adventure Racing race (Trek) 1:40:00 [4] 8.0 km (12:30 / km) +351m 10:15 / km
shoes: Salomon Sense Mantra 3 grey/or

The first leg where we were slower than the fastest expected time. This was an up, over and down of the Witwatersberg behind Segwati Ranch, with a bit of Kloofing towards the end. I was throwing up on top, probably not as much due to the heat this time as possibly hyponatremia?

C • Hyponatraemia 1

Adventure Racing race (Transition) 6:56 [1]

We lost the rugby.

Adventure Racing race (MTB) 1:50:00 [4] 36.0 km (3:03 / km) +402m 2:54 / km
shoes: Specialized Epic FSR Mthn 2014

Final leg of the race, a MTB from Remhoogte via a few CPs. Took a fun short-cut across the Van Gaalen's MTBO map over some farm fields. This was the 3rd O' map we'd crossed, so local knowledge definitely did play a part. Finished off by coming past Pecanwood and then around the side of Oberon. Sugar Monsters were 2nd and 1st mixed team, about 28 mins behind. Key Health 3rd.
