You might find that acceptable but I certainly don't and that's why I didn't enter 5150.

If you want, I'll take you on a 30k trail run in the heart of Joburg and it wont cost you a cent. If you like, you can do it twice.

and No, I don't spend R1 200 over a weekend.

Cool! Do you have that run on google maps? Is it in the Greenside area?

Braamfontein Spruit incorporating Delta Park, Botannical Gardens, Alberts Farm and Mellville Koppies.

Did quite a few of these training runs in preparation for IM last year.

What speed do you run at? I would love to come along. Need a winter route. Live next to Emmarentia.

Normal pace is around 5:15-5:30 but at the moment I doubt I'd make it further than 10k

I live next to Alberts Farm. PM me and we can exchange contact details.

Yay, I can now come along

@WeightWeenie, I agree with all you say, an event like this is awesome, they are still milking us just for the sake of it

[Garfield2010]

Ok Dangle and Thug.

We can do some running this from March of onwards into the winter. After the 70.3 at Buffels on 11 March, I am switching to running only.

Have to keep fit throughout the winter for the Otter trail run I entered.

I will PM you both! Maybe we can have our own multiday trail run. We can camp next to the Emmarentia dam.

Thanks, they definitely are milking us, but ag it's a goal I've set so I can stay focused, so I'll shell out this time don't mind.
Friend that is onvolved told me they have about 40 enties for 3 day event so far.

[Weight Weenie]

So anyone decided to do it ? I'm still keen and training is going well

[Garfield2010]

I really want to do it. I have a friend who lives very close to the venue so I am considering staying with him and just do the "day races".

[Weight Weenie]

Yip I'm also thinking of only doing the race each day, camping is gonna be flippen cold !
I was thinking of driving through from PTA each day, but you def have a better idea with your friend that stays close to VG.

Damn I wish I had the cash to enter the event. Mayhem sport should give discount if you do all oif their events!

[Garfield2010]

I also did the IMPI this past weekend. It was truly the most fun I have ever had in one race!!! Epic and legendary.... and it was at the same venue VG!

[Weight Weenie]

Well I've done as much training as I can, may do a short run or two but mostly just resting till the event. Getting excited
