@Thomo .. i have a big roll of bubble wrap for you.. just to be safe wrap yourself a few days before

well said ... this is Cape Town after all .. all 4 seasons at the same time in different parts of the peninsula ....

Yes i was disappointed .. and so was my two sons .... yes we will get over it .... and the safty of the entrants is way more important. Then there is also the fire ... thats a different topic as to why .... As for a refund ... i know they say no refunds .. and that costs has already been incured ... like Eddy say settle what must be settled .. and this is my opinion on the left over funds .... Split it evenly between the charities that they support .. including all the prize money.... AND.. make the amounts public ... it is after all our and sponsors money.

im with you there ....

Thats because they to light .... Us that have a few more kg around the middle ... wont blow over .... lol

mm... i was about to get ready ... then my one son called from the start to confirm that the race was cancelled.. and that his brother can go back to bed ... I feel for those that travelled to Cape Town for the race .... PS : Since they changed the name from The Argus .... they only had one full race out of 3 .... thats not good stats ....

and .. they announce this 2 1/2 days before the start .... why not make it from next year if they want to give the elite ladies a shorter route ... then they can at least train properly for it .... So now they trained for 109 km ... including 1 extra hill .... If they had known .. they could have adapted there training accordingly ... Sometimes i wonder if the organizers know how much there decisions affect the participants .. Maybe only if it effect the bottom line then they will worry.

Why a shorter distance ... what happen to equality .... A woman's only start group i can understand.... Wont the men catch them and then have a problem going past them ....

All the best .. hope he makes a full recovery ....

Thanks i did that .. went thru fine

I got mine before 2 and my son just got his .. still waiting for my other sons email ... we not slaapstad for nothing ....

mmm ... Cape Town only awakes from our weekend slumber at about 10 on a Monday... then think about work .. (note THINK not actually work) from about 11 .... and actually start to work at 11:55 ( lunch is at 12 ... .. so expect email anytime tomorrow ... lol

....lol .. thats gonna be a very short list ...

Congrats guys .....on your first anniversary ,... May your business grow from strength to strength ...

Nice race report.... What was your time ... i did Winelands as well ... i saw the 5h bus go past ... and waved to them ... Had a calf muscle injury as well at about 15 km .. but decided to finish .. I rested for the week ... did nothing not even ride ... The on Saturday .. did a half marathon (Titans Mitchels plain) .. nothing impressive .. muscle was still sore .. but i finished .. in the rain ... next for me will be Velocity Silverstroom on 19 December .... i hope i qualify on that one ... Oh yes i have entered Comrades and 2 oceans Ultra .. will be my first Ultra's .. done Cape Town Marathon thrice ... every year a little bit better .. but still no Sub 5. Training time is definitely an issue .. just cant get enough permission slips ... lol on a good week .. i do 25 km and another 20 or so on a weekend .. bad week 10 km in the week and 10 on a weekend ... Good luck and all the best to all that's doing there first Ultra and Comrades in 2016
