True. Some years back a farmer in our area died of a heart attack while out jogging and he was super fit.

You're right, it is hectic, to say the least.... well I don't know how healthy I am, I'd say I'm average in fitness, but I'm a smoker - think I need to throw the away the cigs.

I saw the aftermath when I came past to finish, a lot of medics standing around, I am sure he got the best attention possible. Weird when that happens, when you just know something terrible has happened. Condolences to friends and family.

 

It was a tough route, esp. towards the end.

He passed away. Ex cycling partner of mine, we did 3 sanis together before he went on to greater things like la rutta and trans andes. Rest in peace Wayne
