HOEKVLAG Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 What a race! A good challenge, well organized, well marked route and real good atmosphere. Congratulations to all involved. Was my second Marathon and next year I'll be back for the Ultra!
Rob Mortimer Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Great event, thanks Will have to second all the comments regarding the last 30km though - hotter than hell, only 1 water point and not very entertaining
Gnarly Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Enjoyed the first 75k's, last 35ish were BAD!!! All in all a lekker race. Now who ever came up with a the plan to have water points every 10k's is a BLOODY genius!!! (give that man a bells) Even some on a downhill, at least you can finish eating your food while clocking in some miles. Would come back but only for the marathon, those last 35k's were a bit K@k. but good for miles in the legs.
rawbone Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Awesome half marathon for me slow as **** on only 3 weeks of prep after 2 months post op downtime but still such an awesome race with incredible views!
rawbone Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Also what a cool goodie bag. Just a couple of energy bars you can actually use instead of mini soaps and so on. Nice.

Morwa Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 My first Baberton XCM. Hell....what a race. Only did a K2C previously, and if you compare the Baberton 77km to the K2C....the K2C is for kids. That climb starting at 12km into the route is a crusher!!! But, I'll be back. One of the best organised races I've entered. 10 out of 10!
