Sunday, 9th March 2008: 13 days to go.

It's the Argus Cycle Tour on Sunday, so we're a bit restricted with regard to running routes. Dave Spence, the Two Oceans virtual coach, for this Sunday recommends a 20 km run at an easy pace on an undulating course. The route I've selected includes running the last 8 km of the Oceans route to the finish at UCT while one is still feeling fresh, to reinforce positive feelings about the race. The arrangements are that we:

Meet at: Constantia (Alphen) Kwikspar, Constantia Village shopping complex
Start at: 6h00
Distance: About 20 km
The route: From the Kwikspar we'll take a shortcut to Southern Cross Dr, up Southern Cross, along Rhodes Dr to Kirstenbosch top gate, along Rhodes Ave and Union Ave to the UCT rugby fields, down to Main Rd, Rondebosch, along the footpath next to the Liesbeek River, through Newlands Hiddingh, along Newlands Rd, Tennant Walk, Wolfe St, past Victoria Hospital and back to the cars.

I hope that your hard training is showing dividends, and that you are all feeling strong.

Gerry
