dave303e Posted September 25, 2019 Posted September 25, 2019 Mdu Zondi also worked a full day at St Mary's on Friday, went to Karkloof that night and smashed 3rd in 20hours. Dunno why we bother supporting a bunch of over payed rugby, soccer, cricket and other athletes who get caught doping when champs like this are around. tjommies3 and candz1 2

Chris_ Posted September 25, 2019 Posted September 25, 2019 i got a mate doing the Karkloof 100 miler this weekend , anyone here know or doing it ? Did it! and finished! My first 100 miler! Had a pretty humiliating DNF at UTD earlier this year so had a little extra reason to get through this race. The heat was mental, by half way my stomach was not playing the game anymore so I (and probably most of us) was super dehydrated and big-time lacking calories. It was a real battle. But ja, kept stepping and even managed to run the last 20kms as the sun came up again, because there was no ways I was going to miss the cut-off. Finished just under 35 hours. I'm still getting my head around what I've managed to do. But I'm feeling more happy about it as the pain subsides... ScottCM, Khronis, Andrew Steer and 15 others 18

Hows the body feeling this week? Apologies, just checked and yes he is at St Johns... My feet are still very sore. But I'm super happy how the rest of my legs are tired (obviously) but feeling really good. Stomach is coming right, yesterday I finally started eating with some vigour again, and it was great. dave303e 1
dave303e Posted September 25, 2019 Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) On another side note, was sent some delightful photos of the Mount Aux Sources chain ladders where a bolt sheared off on the one ladder. Delightful when you know you have used them a few times a year for last few years, most recently in March Edited September 25, 2019 by dave303e

Chris_ Posted September 25, 2019 Posted September 25, 2019 Well done! Did you notice weight loss after the run? I didn't step a scale or anything but I suspect it was a fair drop. ITO 'bodily functions' I didn't go to the loo for the next like 36 hours so I was probably an absolute prune by the end of the run. I usually race a little dehydrated anyway, so maybe that helped get me through this one. Lotus 1
