The year would never be the same if we did not start it by doing the run on our doorstep from Waterfall to Pinetown.  One only has to look around to see how many people start in January doing PDAC and talking of Comrades and how many of them actually end up doing Comrades. A fast downhill run all the way to Lahee park, fun and social and a good way of keeping the fitness up.

A route and race that could honestly be classed as one of the best of its distances in South Africa as far as the organisation, scenery, track etc are all concerned.  The weather was perfect and the track in really good nic. One can only appreciate how hard these people work on a route of this nature.  I had a really nice ride and felt quite good the whole way coming in 6th lady overall and 1st vet. We are so lucky to have places like this on our doorstep where you can go and ride an hours drive from Durban.

What a gorgeous place. We stayed on a stunning farm just outside Clarens and went with the whole family, Robin and friends.  We had a great time.  The weather was good the race something special and the little town of Clarens a real gem.  The race was beautiful but to be hones I did not epect so much district and jeep road especially in the begining.  The contour on the side of the mountains was stunning and actually very managable.  They made a complete stuff up of the timing and originally hadthe marathon times mixed with the shorter race times and peoples names completely missing, but eventually seemed to com...

Decided since I did my tenth comrades last year I would take a break from Comrades this year as running with thousands more people on another down run is just not that appealing.  I am ceratinly no good runner and just run or should I say jog to do a 10 hour comrades every year, but this year with every Tom, Dick and Harry doing it there are going to be far too many under prepared people running down to Durban and a lot finishing in the 11 hour to 12 hour time which to all real runners is not a legitimate comrades, however so as to not feel left out took a friend to do the Midmar marathon her first and promised her I would get her ...

My fourth Sani2C and as always a privilige to ride a race of this beauty and organisation.  Robin and I love this 3 day event even though it does not always suit our riding as day 1 and day 3 do not have enough hills and certainly day 3 is suited to the slightly larger framed people, however we still love it and have great fun.  This year I think we were either 5th or 6th not sure but had a really lekker ride. Now looking forward to the one day sani as I have definitely decided that the older one gets the longer the races are that suit our age.
