My experience at the event:

My first 10km since May was always going to be a bit of a challenge, especially after finishing the day before a hard 30km MTB race.

But the search for fitness cannot stop, and so on a warmish Monday morning, national holiday here in South Africa , I entered the Totalsports Ladies race just to see how my legs were coping with the extra training. Yes, men were allowed.

The final time was 48 minutes and 35 seconds (my second best in the past 4 years, still far from the 45:29 in London in 2004 though!) and I guess I must be satisfied with it. THe official time recorded was 47.38 and I managed to finish an incredible 26th place of out 1277!

Jill arrived around the hour mark (and few minutes), while Lindsey completed easily a 5km race (I managed to caught up with her 200 meters before the finish line!)

As usual, some quick pictures form the race and, if you click on the map, a performance report:
