If you bandit run the same route, after the mass flag off, free refreshment for your training.

Recap on Income Run today. Delayed due to thunderstorm. The starting point was atrocious but other than that, I felt it was a pretty good race. Did what I set up to do which was a 4.30/km pace. Struggled at 18-21km,totally no kick at all and was overtaken quite a number of times during that period.

Lots of people wearing QD Plaid 1.5. Think cult favourite among the locals now.

After this run, think 4.25/km is achieveable for Lazada run.

Your pace is very elite. Congrats on your PR.

This was a great run. Weather is perfect. got my pacing right and able to achieve negative split (5km split chart below)and PBed. Post race hydration was more than adequate. All these makes up for the delayed start time. Can say is a enjoyable race.

Great experience with the 361 Flames 4 for this race. So far for races this is the best shoes I have used. But my race experiences is limited, only like 2 or 3 per years.

Saw one runner's alphafly fell apart.

Haha you also kena the bottleneck start. Good pacing as well. Still got kick for the last 2km.

Which wave were you in? Looking back,I think I should start wave 2. Would be at the front.

Saw a few pairs of flame 4 but Plaid 1.5 is the most I seen haha

By the time I followed to crowd upstairs, I was at the 3rd wave. 10 minutes behind the first wave flagged off.
One guy slipped on the muddy grass patch nearer to bottom and landed on his buttock.

The start really horrendous. Hope no more events will have this kind of starting point again.

Actually the last part to ending point also bad. It's nearly impossible for those that want a sprint finish. I was considering it with 500m to go but seeing how squeezy it was,better not

Ya, agree the ending part from the narrow dam "bridge" to the sharp last 20m right turn to the finish line. Really hard to keep up momentum for those using the last left over reserve to chiong.
The start point has been on top for the past few years despite them knowing the danger on the slipepry dopwn slope. Coz the DJ keeps on warning not to run too fast down, that mean the organiser knows about it but just doesn't want to change the location. Someone mentioned that if they need the big space on top for gathering of runners and setting up the stage for DJ. They could flag off by walking each wave to the bottom of the slope and then flagged them off.
For the ending part at the dam, they could rearrange the divider to give the returning runners more space say after 1hour after last flag off.

Running at Cape Town is mindblowing ... you get the sun, rain, waves and homeless people in one run
