Altra Lone Peak 5!

 

Can't wait to head out in them!

 

Also have a pair, these shoes are ridiculously comfortable. I'm considering buying another pair just to walk around in.

I have the salomon sense ride 3 trail shoes and have just purchased the sense ride 4.

I must say they are the most comfortable trail shoes i have ever owned.

I was looking for another pair of the 3`s , however they were sold out in SA in my size, so got the 4`s

Very similar to the version 3 and could not be happier.

No, I'm just going off Courtneys instagram page which is being run by someone else for now.

 

Also, Howie Stern (howiesternphoto), he takes really good pics, and sticks a good few updates up for these kind of events

Lekker to see my thread is still going strong after so many years! 

 

Just a heads up to those in GP - Hedianga Farm is currently closed; apparently there is a leopard frequenting the area 

 

Cheers,

Thats it.

Rain, hail, fog seem to be owning the race this year.

[ScottCM]

Ladies missed the cutoff to start lap 3 by only 12 minutes! Crazy.

(As ridr said) she was part of a group of 3 ladies running together. They finished loop 2 in 26:52. the cutoff to leave for loop 3 was 26:40.

 

So thats 40/45/50 (who knows?) miles, in 26 and a bit hours! Just think about how brutal it must have been. Madness

Especially considering the caliber of those ladies.
