ATF Cullinan

[Grondpad]

I don’t know how many people here are into adventure racing but this one looks like fun. I see they have the long and a short one which is nice as we don’t usually have the longer ones near GP. I have never done a long one yet but am considering doing this one before the Swazi Adventure race in October.

 

Who is going to do it?

Any of you know if this is the first time this event is held? How hectic is the 70/80km one? I have done a couple of sprints but nothing this long. I do MTB marathons and can run a half marathon. I do a couple of sprint tri's and didnt do to bad in the Xterra Full this year.

Well looking at the pics it doesnt seem like there are mountains or anything.

 

Depending on my teammate going, are you guys looking for teammates? I see you can be 2 - 3 per team.

 

I may need a team mate. I run at 10km/hour and ride at say 20km/hour.

Sheez!! This was really really hard. It must have been the hardest day of my life! How brutal was that 12km trail run? And the orienteering (more like mountaineering)? and and and.. The MTB was really short but hectic tough. The tracks shook the cr@p out of me

 

We eventually finished in 07:56. I see that we were only two teams that did the (very short) paddle. I also heard that they told a lot of the teams to skip CP 32 & 33. Hecitc!

 

Hard, but lekker. Very lekker.
