I just wanted to see if anybody else was as disapointed with the Induna race this weekend?? I really enjoy the MTN series and after riding several events over the past years have come to expect a certain standard at these races... however for some reason these standards were not met this weekend at induna. My complaint is not aimed at the actual route (as that was amazing and I really enjoyed it) but rather at the running of the water tables! The 3 water tables along the 45km route only had water but nothing else not even food. One table had a new energy powder product (I had not heard of before and was not willing to try while riding a race) but nothing else. This race was through many banana plantions - but not even banana's featured at the water point. Secondly, there were no medals to the 45km, 75 or 120km finishers - I'm not super sentimental that I require a medal however the race entries are not the cheapest and the goodie bags were NOTHING to write home about... and with the lack of drinks and food at the water points what exactly is our entry money and sponsorship money going towards?? Thirdly - as a lady I was very surprised when Yolanda Speedy being the ONLY lady to enter and complete the 120km race received no prize??? I understand that due to limited people entering the 120km race we cant reward everyone, however being the ONLY lady entring and FINISHING the race she surely deserves more recognition!!! Are my complaints valid or am I expecting too much??? Other than the above, Induna was an awesome race and those who missed it, missed out big time!!!!
