    Maximizing Shareholder Value 101 Having recently been involved in a (fortunately successful, but still dramatic) Search and Rescue, let me tell you that dealing with the aftermath takes a while. And we were successful…

    None. But no news is good news. Today I spoke with a dr who worked at the CE medic tent in Fairview Race village. She says it was a rough day. They had three critical cases that went to Hospital. No fatalities. conflicting stories. I hope hers is true.

    I got rained on while running along the course earlier. It will definitely be a mud fest on the route.

    Imbuko Chemchamp is mixing it up in front again. can anyone recall what the highest an SA team was on GC? IIRC the Chem Brothers duo was 2nd the last year they raced together? But my memory from that era is clouded by disappointment.

    I got 7.5 hrs out of my vivoactive4 last year at a race. I think I put it on smart battery mode. Wasn’t moving fast enough to care about highest accuracy.

    I’m not in the habit of asking for our conversations in writing. I will gladly be proved wrong on this, this is people’s lives we are speculating about. But I trust him more than I trust the epic media releases.

    Maybe you need to do what I did, and chat to a Dr working at Paarl hospital? You are after all a journalist?

    Agreed. Getting 5tons of water to the water points really isn’t that hard. Not even to KrismasKamp. Add another 5tonner for safe margin. The top of Groenlandberg is a different story, but then you put a WP at the bottom and a cache of water as high up as you can.

    5 days of racing and there is 30 seconds in it between 1 and 2. love it!!

    She retired from racing, pursued her profess career and started her family. Yet the first place your mind goes is there? do you mind excusing yourself for a while?

    On a less somber note: Annika Langvad is smashing it, all while being a new mom. My respect for her just reached epic proportions. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DHWTMl8uiDw/?igsh=YWM3dW0zcWQ3ZWh1

    Looks like he lost his team mate?

    Extended cut off to 16:50 Maximum amount of hrs allowed on route now 8:45 Just got this message on the WA group. Our team just went through Krismas Kamp WP. They are concerned that there won't be enough water for the backmarkers.

    Not everyone is a tourist paying in Dollars. The tents are paid for, and accommodation n in the winelands isn't exactly cheap. That being said, My friends are sleeping at home (S-West) and getting up early to beat traffic through stellies. No brainer.

    A lot of racing still to come. Stage 6 is designed to shake up the pro field. That climb up to the Neck above Lourensford is an adventure.
