Howzit Guys
Well its done Block Week 2!! Woooo hooooo! hahaha. Listen all things considered, the distance, the hours... all went well. My calf, although tender, hung in there the whole time - even with the steep acents that did on Saturday. Every run over the last four days we have done with packs. Our packs on average have been about 8kg's.
Thursday and Friday were road / trail combo's. The trail in each case is a route we have through Kirstenbosch and the constantia green belt.
Saturday was a bit of an Epic crossing... up Suikerbossie, up Llandudno ravine...all the way to the dams..then follow puffer route to Mcclears Beacon... then home via puffer to constantia nek...then to Hout Bay.....hectic....it took me long enough just to type it (on cell phone..watching Bond 007 on TV).
Andie did well too, trying different things with his nutrition, now is the time to test! We ran quite a bit with Sand Crab too.
Sunday - back to Green belt - some of the usual supects joined us, Carla & Ali.... and Sandra Boer ... another one of our Ironman buds (this one so happens to have gone to Kona - the holy grail of Ironman!!!). We finished with the Ironmanners..and then put in an extra hour for good measure...all in a days work.
Well i guess its 4 days of running about 150km-ish... good going.
Andie took some kick ass photos at the dam.. i'm sure he will post!
Chow for now
