Event: Colour Coded Hennops Pride
 

Hennops Pride Colour Coded event. Did the brown course which was good fun. Feel at home on the technical underfoot running! Didnt warm up properly, and then spent too long trying to get comfortable with the map between the start and control 2, lost some time there. Lost time at #4 and #5, wrong approach angle's and lost map contact for brief moments. Annoying! All in all had an okay run with no navigational issues. Not very running fit at the moment and could feel it on the longer running stretches. Had a massive fall on technical rocky ground between #11 and 12, took some skin off my knees and hands... Came 5th overall, about 2:30 behind the winner. Big turn out on the Brown course, about 25 runners.

BROWN - Splits

Went for ride down the Spruit. Pretty relaxed pace all the way. Cycled down to Republic Rd with a loop in Delta Park on the way down and back. 981 KCal burnt.

Paddle at Emmies with Jane. Did 8 long laps of the dam. Havent been in a K2 since Swazi and damn did I feel it!

Went to pick up my bike at FPC Paulshof, so did a short run around Sunninghill from Stijn's place. Followed by a poker evening at Stijn's with a bunch of mates, where I was soundly beaten! :-)
