Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to Wessel and the Advendurance Team. I popped my cherry doing my first 40km half marathon today. I kakked off, almost bough a fence post in the soft sand, but loved every minute of it. The spacing of the groups was perfect! This Buffalo has got a lot of training and some weight to lose before the next race. Thanks again guys and Well Done!

Ok. Got it. Winding my neck in.

Did anyone feel a bit disappointed by the "goodie bag" this year. I got LOT of paper, a bell???, A bag of dried fruit and 1USN product.

My 2 Cents - I used to suffer badly in both arms. I couldn't shake hands or even carry shopping bags. I had the injections into the elbows, but this only lasted for about 2 months at a time. Then found an old Taiwanese acupuncturist in Auckland Park and went for 4-5 treatments. It was some of the most painful treatment I have ever had, but it helped. I also started training with a biokineticist. I am not totally cured, but the pain is now only 10% of what it used to be. The MTB does not help the situation, but we grin and bear it.
