Western Cape Long Champs at Hawequas forest. Skipped the SA sprint and middle due to other commitments in CT, so was looking forward to some O again. First O in months! Legs felt very good but the nav was really rusty and I was all over the place a lot. Felt like I was having a fair run, until Tim (started +6 mins) caught me at 11, when I realized I was well off the pace! Managed to hold onto him and we swapped spots a bit taking different routes. We caught Eugene and then Nic, and we all seemed to take different routes here and there in the last few controls. Got a gap and got ahead of Tim, Nic and Uge at the finish. The legs held out well and I was able to push all the way, but nav let me down big time. In the end had a good run and was 2nd to Tim by 6 minutes.

M21A - Splits

Spent a lekker morning walking through Kirstenboch, then decided to do some proper walking. Up skeleton gorge and down nursery ravine. Beautiful walk.

Weekend in Cape Town seeing family and friends. Very nice chilled hike up and around table mountain. Up platterkilp, to Maclears beacon, Smuts track to the reservoirs, past the MCSA hut and back down platterkilp. Lots of stopping, lots of taking photos of plants, and a lunch stop. Not too far or fast, but good time on the feet.

Damsig, wave rider, mine shaft, Oom Piets and dirt roads. 7kg backpack.
