Easter weekend in Cape Town is Two Oceans time and South Africa's running fraternity heads for the Mother City.
With 11 medals behind me I've run enough ultras (56km) and the half holds no excitement for me, so with the introduction of a trail race I would find myself racing once again...
BUT FIRST THE EXPO
With registration behind me it was race day on Friday...
After last weeks race where I put my body on the line, I went for a more conservative approach remembering how last years race went, I wasn't going to fight to win the race in the 1st couple of easy km's...
Now instead of writing a long hill for hill, Single track, Fynbos style report, I thought I would tell my story with pictures...
The front page...
The sports page...
and a few pictures from the race...
