Looking for just 3 Marathons and 2 Ultras .... all slow and steady

 

Qualifying was done in November so just a Build up and focus for 1 day only..

Sunday 31-Jan Johnson Crane 42

Saturday 06-Feb Sasolburg 21

Sunday 07-Feb Striders 32

Info on the Route Tester seems hard to come by at the Moment apart from its starting in PMB on the 17th April and heading to Hillcrest Harriers clubhouse on the Comrades Route

 

If you get any more substantial info around times, etc etc please let me know,.

 

We are gonna hire a Little Bus and come down from JHB with 12-15 of us so far...

Here is the plan :

 

31/01 - Johnson`s 42 - qualifying

13/02 - Bronkhorst 32 - Simulation race pace

28//02 - Delloitte 42 - Just HTFU and time on the legs - no racing

05/03 - Sunrise Monster 32 - HTFU and time on the legs- no pace

16/04 - Om die dam Ultra - Check out the expected race pace

01/05 - Wally 42 - Expected race pace -15sec/km

29/05 - Race day - HTFU, KD factor and get it done.

 

I have 1 or 2 backups for qualifying in case something goes wrong. Dont want to have to race anything longer than 21 after March. Well, thats the plan.
