Revised racing calendar for the first quater of 2009
Ok, so my plans changed a bit. Here’s a revised calendar for the first quater of ‘09:
Being summer down here, there are a wealth of racing events to choose from. Here’s what I have planned for the first three months:
- 24 January: Xterra off road triathlon. 600m swim, 30km mtb, 10km trail run. [Updated] Done! Turned out to be 1.5km, 26km, 10km race.
- 8 February: Jozi Triathlon. Olympic distance tri. This is the big one. [Updated] Done!
- 21 February: Subaru Sabie Classic. 70/100km mtb. Still have to decide which one to do. I’ve never done a 100km off-road race before. Might be a good experience. [Updated] Done! Did the 100km.
- 14-15 March. Thaba Phuti Adventure Festival: This festival is a new concept here in South Africa. There’s a sprint adventure race, 4×4 orienteering, a night trail running race and a mountain biking race. All of those sound awesome!! I’ll do all if my body allows, but for now I’ll aim for the adventure race.
- 21 March: Jozi triathlon. Olympic. A friend of mine is also getting married on this date, so I hope I’ll be able to do this one. [Updated]: Turned out to be the SA Champs and is therefore not open to amateurs.
Woot!

- 21 February: Subaru Sabie Classic. 40km mtb. A real classic on the mtb calendar. Going to do the short one, since the Sani2C is only 5 days away.
- 26-28 February: Sani2C. Multi-day mtb race. The Cape Epic’s less serious little brother. 260km, 4525m total ascent. This is an absolute legendary event. So glad I managed to get an entry.
- 21 March: Jozi triathlon. Olympic. A friend of mine is also getting married on this date, so I hope I’ll be able to do this one.
Uber sweetness! Can’t wait to do all of those.

Check out my race calendar for May
Man, I just fell in love with May. This is the line-up:
- 3 May: Forest2Falls Mountain Bike race (70km). [Updated] Done!
- 10 May: Trail run at the Moreletta spring (10km). [Updated] Done!
- 17 May: Adventure race at Konka Camps, Magaliesburg (35km). [Updated] Done!
- 24 May: Mabalingwe Lion Man Mountain Bike race (80km). [Updated] I didn’t do this race. Had other commitments.
- 31 May: Tuks Alumni Legends 2008 half-marathon (21.1km) [Updated] or Magalies Monster Mountain Bike race (75km). [Updated] Done!
Unfortunately June is considerably less exciting with only one scheduled event. Perhaps, I’ll be able to ad a few as May progress.
