Trail Run race (Nogwaja Rabbit run Rustig) 2:08:23 [5] 18.97 km (6:46 / km) +870m 5:30 / km
ahr:153 max:192 shoes: Salomon sense Pro Blue
Nogwaja Rabbit Series trail run at Rustig in the Magaliesberg.
Really great venue, and some fantastic trails. Fast start with a largish bunch. I settled into 6th place on the first big steep climb up the Magalies ridge. Cobus caught up to me on top and we ran together for a while, having a good chat. I managed to drop him, but then it turned out he somehow took a shortcut (I suspect following 13k markers at one split), as with 4 kms to go I saw him ahead of me! I put he hammer down and caught him again, and he had no idea where he went wrong, thinking I was up ahead somewhere! Very nice route and well organised. Legs felt surprisingly good! Route marking was ok, but you really had to keep your eyes open for the small pink ribbons, and there were so many route splits and merges between the 20 and 13k... Got 6th in the end behind Edwin, Thabang, Kennedy, Ruan and Bruce Arnett, with Cobus in 7th. Good to be back on the Magalies!
