Safari half marathon - super funner!!


One of the reasons it was super funner, was that everything went wrong...and now, eventually - we can laugh about it!


My hubby wasn't fit enough to do the 21km, so I opted to join him in the 21km relay (10.5km each).


We arrived late in Worcester and couldn't find the right turn off. So in fustration, we parked the car in town and ran in the direction of where we thought it will all take place (start).

Out of breath, like alot of people in our position, running along side us - we arrived at the wrong jumping point.

We milled through the crowd and 15min's later came to the "right" street...Werner was "runner A" and as the crowd was counted down, he could jump with them!

(Phew, or so I thought!)


Over an hour later Werner came running up to me (to do the batton hand over), only he had no batton!

I later learned that he jumped with the walking group by mistake and missed the hand out of the battons.

Luckily, a nice marshall gave us one and off I went!


It was a bit grueling, but still awesome!!


Here's the pic...Werner, myself, Johan (did his 10th Safari half marathon) and his wife Anja.
