Coming out the valley in summer again..... eish.

better than not having the event at all I guess

Would it be better, weather wise (rain/mud), to do in December, or wait for May 2021 ?

I am assuming they want to go ahead with the event in May 2021 as planned. Waiting for 2021 to do 2020's event means you are essentially cancelling it.This is about as good as it gets IMO, the event goes ahead, no one loses their entry fee. Maybe a couple of changed flight fees, and a few that won't have the dates open in their calendars - but overall a pretty good outcome.

The release says if you can't make the December dates your entry rolls over to 2021. It also says rainy season is Sept/Oct. 

 

As strange as this sounds I'm going to continue with my training program and see where it takes me.

maybe some of us expacts can get in on the December action if visiting SA. I will be keeping my eye on entries

December I cannot make, so 2021, here we come.   Bummer.

 

In the meantime....

It will take you to your lounge in your underpants.

December will be change for many people. The dynamics of the event will change completely. Make sure you are prepared.

 

I see mother nature playing a role here as well, The heat in the valley is going to be real challenge. Another issue will be snakes. Next challenge will be the mist as the day two. The region of Highflats and Jolivet can get closed in with mist from as early as 3pm. So at the start of day two it will be extremely hot and then the afternoon wet and uncomfortable.

Haha. Imagine a Buddha in Undies and HR monitor sweating on a turbo. What a sight!

Eish is a good word to use here methinks. When Sani was in Feb you either got properly cooked or soaked, sometimes both. We even nearly froze to death one year. The winter ones I've done have been relatively mild and Day 2 easier; Day 3 a little harder but no Heart Rate Hill.  Best of luck.

Received the email that the Trail has been cancelled and those groups will now form part of the Race. I'm holding thumbs that some form of Sani2C will go ahead, but fairly realistic in expecting it won't.
