The Baviaans, Sky Run and Amatola look like the ones I will have to choose from. Reason being - they take place in remote areas and take place in the mountains. They also give me enough time to get in shape for a demanding weekend in the mountains! I have also been saying to Adrian Saffy I am going to come run the Sky Run for the last 2 or 3 years, so hopefully this is the year :-)Garthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12841313854410313024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2879418859679592615.post-57838230130257721292009-05-03T19:40:00.000+02:002009-05-03T19:40:00.000+02:00Heya anon... now that's something I've never tried...Heya anon... now that's something I've never tried - surfing. Yes, definitely go for doing Amatola; it's a very good thing to do. And with a year to go, set Swazi Xtreme as your 2010 adventure racing goal. Happy adventures.adventurelisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02054511421198362034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2879418859679592615.post-11338895200788772832009-05-03T19:23:00.000+02:002009-05-03T19:23:00.000+02:00Yep, My friend is trying to get me to do the Amato...Yep, My friend is trying to get me to do the <B>Amatola 100km</B>...I said:- "why not?, it sounds like a good thing to do". I have always enjoyed hiking, which originally led me to start mountain biking. I now think it is time to try something different...like trail running and eventually I hope to break into <B>Adventure Racing</B>...isn't life a 'JOL'??<br />...It is so fantastic to try new things...a couple of weeks ago I tried surfing while on holiday - after sitting on the beach for years but not trying as I was too scared I would make a fool out of myself. Well now I don't care ...so much so, I went and bought myself a 9ft (long board) and spent the last five days of my holiday surfing. Some days I could hardly move afterwards as the muscles suffered from the punishment, but I can tell you, I had so much fun!. Hey, and I am only 46yrs young.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
