FEEDBACK: Saturday 6 June, Kleinplaas dam circuit

Rewarding views for our early morning efforts.
A break in the week's rainy weather meant a cold but clear Saturday run. The later winter start has also recruited more runners, with the Recovery group (or as Lorraine prefers, the Tweenies) being the same size as the Main group.

At 7:30, all three groups left from the parking on Black Hill road for the dams. The Main group did an anti-clockwise loop to the Kleinplaas dam, the Recovery group did a clockwise loop to the Lewis Gay dam and the Walk/Run group followed the short cut paths.
Route and profile of Main group.
The route was reasonably easy undulating bush trails with a few modest hills with some sandy stretches.  The week's rain had made the sand good for running.

The Main group.
The Main group completed 14km and the Recovery group completed 11.6km in 1h 50min. The walk/run group came in at just over 2hrs for 10.4km.

Thank you to Piero for organising this week's run.

Treat! The proteas out and staring to bloom.


And some of the ladies in the Recovery group enjoy a well-deserved breakfast.
