FEEDBACK – SPORTS4LIFE EVENT 18 JANUARY 2020
Conditions at JCC were great for racing this morning.
The weather behaved itself, and improved during the course of the mornings racing.
We only had one arrival for the 21 km marathon event. Kobus and Caroline Filmalter – they completed the distance in 1 hr 48 mins 55 secs.
For the Dusi Prep event we had 2 competitors. Jaco Lategan ( Dabs ) and Brian Langton ( VLC ). Both ran the total of the 4.6 km of portages really well and they
finished together in 2 hrs 10 mins and 31 secs.
The next event will be held on Sunday the 16th Feb, 10 days before the start of Dusi 2020, so it’s a real great opportunity for a final paddle and portage session before Dusi.
Distances for this Dusi Prep event will be : 6 km paddle, 2.3 km run, 6km paddle, 2.3 km run and finishing with a 6km paddle.
We will host a marathon training event at the same time covering distances of 6,12,16 and 21 km.
