Trail Running 5:16:46 [3] 26.0 km (12:11 / km) +1245m 9:50 / km
shoes: Asics Gel Fuji Sensor
Had a go at breaking the Mafadi record, despite the dismal weather. The current record is 9h57m for the 41km from the Injisuthi office to the summit (3450m - highest in SA) and back.
Was ahead of the record splits at the 2h mark near the start of Leslie's Pass and then stuffed up royally on the 4km bundu-bashing and boulder-hopping section. I missed the start of the pass completely in the mist and carried on up the boulder bed for far too long. Took a while to relocate once I realised something was off, so this cost me 30 mins in total. The weather was also looking threatening with snow falling higher up the pass. So i just scouted the first 300 vertical meters of the pass before turning back.
Splits:
Injisuthi Office - Marble Baths (8km): 1h08m (1h15m record split)
Marble Baths - Base of Leslie's Pass (4km): 1h30m (55m record split)
Up & down part of Leslie's (2km): 37m
Base of Leslie's - Marble Baths (4km): 1h03m (1h08m record split)
Marble Baths - Injisuthi Office (8km): 58m (1h13m record split)
Based on the splits, I should be able to shave some time off the record if all goes well. But it's going to be tight! Next time...
