Pete once again decided that it’s time to get back on the fitness bandwagon so competed in the PE Clover (milk brand) 10km fun run on Saturday morning. Whilst the 7am race start time seems somewhat early, parenthood and early rises for work has made 7am a sleep in.
It was quite a large event with around 600 entrants- probably a testament to the token entrance fee of only R15 (<$2.5)! Pete set off in a chilly 10c, before sun-rise at what he felt was a comfortable pace. It was only upon seeing a 40 year old woman wearing a netball skirt in front of him at the 2km mark that Pete thought it was time to get serious!
He finished in an admirable sub-48min, not bad given his present fitness levels.
Jen and Harrison made it to the finish line in time to see the winner. Not surprisingly the top 100 finishers were all skinny black athletes- some wearing shoes, some not wearing shoes (10km ROAD race)!
Harrison rugged up (& doing his Stuie look!)
Some athletes competing without shoes!
Blink & you'll miss Pete!
