Wind and heat

 

The 2016 winner will be worthy, to say the least

 

Clocking 32 degrees already

The Munga Facebook page is giving a fair number of updates and pics.

They say that the wind is pumping already. (That was an hour ago)

sure, but anyone else doing what similar to Nathrix was with video roundups??..

 

munga main webpage landing still has the report from the 2015 race, so don't go there for updates!

 

 

edit: maybe I got  bit spoiled by the daily video highlights at ARWC earlier this month - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0Wb2LW-fvY&t=460s

Good to see Ztangi - Mike Woolnough pull into 6th position at WP4, he was 16th to WP2 so is pacing himself.

 

He's a FC stalwart, one of the bullet ballies. And has put LOADS of thought into strategies here.

Anyone knowing  Vaughn Roux? (for us people who don't know everyone)

 

Some more  info  on these "ysters" will be nice

 

I googled and can only find a Plastic Surgeon from Durbanville CT that cycles. 

Is it him? 

I remember his name from last year, he did quite well. Hitting it a second time around must help a lot knowing what to do differently and how to approach it.

I found his freedom challenge profile, it lists plastic surgeon as occupation so that must be him. Seems to be no stranger to super endurance races.

Kevin B passed Jeannie and Freek... seems to be on mission now

Yes that is Vaughn - well known Plastic Surgeon at Durbanville Medi Clinic.
