Hi,

Last week was a great run. But you’ll have to take my word for it... no-one else came out for the run. Somehow I actually missed the rain. So, let’s use the same route again. Very peaceful bit through Tokai Forest, superb morning views and run home through some vineyards. It is 19km in total. The route is the same, again you’ll have to take my word for it that it was enjoyable... about 40% is on gravel: Constantia Virgin Active car park, to Tokai Forest, returning past the Range, and Groot Constantia. Thanks Seamus – we do avoid the link past the dam at Buitenverwachting after what he told us about restricted access. I’m sure people will be heading home to watch a bit of Comrades. We should be back well before 09h00.

We have to doff our hats again to Jojo this week. She was 1st again at the cross-country Vets race at UWC. Mike Clarke also blitzed his race to place 2nd GM, giving Albertus Bok a run for his money. At the Plexus, we saw acsis VOB men really doing well with Tebello winning the race in around 67 – impressive.

This week’s run:
Start: 07h00 - don’t forget reflective/white gear for the dark please
Start location: Virgin Active Constantia car park above the cricket oval
Distance: 19 km, pace: steady +/- 5 min/km - those who want can add/subtract loops on the way if you want shorter/longer

PS: Let me know if you want to have a faster group as well as the above pace and I’m happy to work a plan.

Cheers, Roger
