Klipriviersberg trail race organized by Southern Trails. Well organized and route marked.

A very tough and quite technical route starting at the new gate on the SW side of the reserve. Went up the west hill first before dropping through the valley and up the east hill. Ran with Rob for this section, but he pulled away after cresting the 2nd and final hill. Long descent then back to the finish with a little bump past the kraal ruins.

Finished in 12th position. Quite happy and exhausted afterwards.

Went out to improve my PB before this parkrun closes at the end of the month. Massive record turnout of about 1500 people, which will probably be beaten again next weekend.

Started fast and held the pace as best as possible up the hill to the fort. If there is room for improvement, it would be this sector. Floored it from the top of the hill back to the finish. Originally a bit disappointed with my time, which was an improvement from 22.07, but this is now my fastest parkrun at altitude, so maybe not too bad.

Metrogaine held from Cliffview Primary. Paired up with Michele to go for the mixed category.

Left the school and headed south up Northcliff hill to get all the big pointers up there. Cleaned up near Alberts Farm and then Aasvoelkop, but then headed north and skipped the eastern edge of the map as we were already 48 mins into the 95 min cutoff.

Kept our options open as we dropped off the hill towards Berario, trying to focus on the 40 and 50 pointers in the area. Picked up a 20 and 2 x 10s on the way into the finish and came in with about 2.5 mins to spare.

Finished 3rd overall and 2nd mixed with 860 points. The other mixed team were very good runners and came past us up the hills on top of Northcliff hill. They finished about 120pts ahead, so 2 x 60 pointers. Alex and Piers won with about 1110 points, they kept to the flatter Fairland and Blackheath areas.
