Thanks to the fact that Tim's Faster Longer group joined us for this sortie we had 50 trailers muster under the trees in the Constantia Nek parking area. There was some disagreement as to whether the morning was simply invigorating/ bracing/ brisk or b----- cold!.
After Allison had organised us into our respective groups and designated the leaders, Tim led off the Fast group and we heard no more of them until they returned 130 minutes later having completed their route up to the Dams, Smuts Track to the aqueduct before turning back, a distance of 12.5 kms.
Neil and Gae then took the medium group and having reached the back-table they then split up and returned via several different routes generally covering between 10,5 to 13km in about 2hrs 15mins.
The slow group followed on their heels and did the first leg of the Smuts track before returning via the Alexandra Dam. 10.5 Km in 2hrs 20min.
Elna van der Merwe who normally runs with the Fast group joined us having persuaded her husband Deon to try out trail running and it would seem she has him hooked!
