Manual Timing. There's a bra standing on Dutoits in the rain writing your number down 🤣

Hello hello,

Question 1: I can't log in to MyActive anymore. Is it me or has anyone experienced the same?

Questions 2: I wanted to load the route. Is this one the official one?

Shame, and it was icy rain too!

Glad I did the race, it was actually only the last few km where the weather was a tad challenging.

Only 20 finishers at the top, and a further 30 at the relocated finish. A good few DNF, and I suspect a mass of DNS (although obviously not visible on the results sheet).

Eish! I am surprised the race actually went ahead at all!! In my honest opinion the responsible thing would have been for the event organisers to call it off on Friday evening - it was obvious for anyone with a weather app the probability of heavy rain was unacceptably high!

The more I hear about it the more I regret not going 🤣 Sounds like a gravel race more than a road

Rock and a hard place for organisers. Especially given that the weather turned out better than predicted.

If they cancelled on Friday we would have a long thread on Monday on how organisers are greedy money grabbers who will take your money and cancel on the slightest excuse.

Welcome to Cape Town.

 

Nothing much came of the severe weather predictions.

 

As an earlier poster noted, only a bit of rain during the last part of the race.

 

 

 

Change of season .... weather predictions are pretty useless in the Cape
