Down and Dirty Race

I took part in the Down and Dirty race this weekend, held in Irene/Pretoria. The race itself was brilliant. It ran through the farming areas around the capital city and one saw places you wouldn’t ordinarily see. The race was pretty flat with a total ascent of 500m (as oppossed to other races that are often above 1500m).

I took it pretty easy, since I am quite unfit at the moment. I must say that I am quite pleased with the 17.4 km/h average. Considering my fitness level, that’s not half bad.

About:Andy

Location:Pretoria Gauteng South Africa

I've never really been much of an athlete. Ever since school, I was a bit of an IT geek. I did sports here and there, but I was always at the back of the pack gasping for air. I started mountain biking in 2006 and have since completed a few mtb marathons and a 90km road race or two... on the mtb. I got into multi-sport events at the end of '07 and have since completed a couple of Adventure Races and Sprint-Triathlons. My goal for 2008 was to keep a steady training programme going, without getting sick in winter. Well that didn't happen. I was down with the flue, TWICE!! So my ambitions of doing a half-ironman early in 2009 flew right out the window. I still have to do an Olympic distance triathlon, so I'll try to get one below my belt early in 2009. My favorite sports include: cycling, running, swimming, adventure racing, triathlons, rowing, golf and hiking.
