Somehow, after 7 weeks of partying, I managed to do the 32km Cape Kidnappers Challenge again. This time last year, we were bam smack in the middle of Oxfam Trailwalker training. This year. Erm, not so much. However, comparing photos of the events, I realised, some things never change….

2010: 5 hours, 45 minutes… walking the whole way….

2011: 5 hours, 37 minutes… Ran 9 of 32 kms

Apparently, we were jogging slower than I thought… Also, I dont appear to change outfits from year to year. This year I noticed the hills more and remembered why last year I decided to train hard before the next one to actually improve my time.

Some more funny pics….

Hitting the first hill after 8km beach run.

Being dragged towards the finish line. Passed 3 people in the last km jog… I lose my competitive spirit as soon as I get tired, but Sarah overheard the guys in front of us mention they couldn’t let ‘us girls’ beat them, so I was forced to run past while Sarah told them we’d keep the beers cold at the finish line for when they arrived. Good old Ferguson family psychological warfare right there.
