Epic Ticket

Well yesterday turned into quiet a day for me. Apart from the usual Wednesday stuff, I got a call from a good friend offering me an entry into next years Cape Epic. Trust me they are like gold at the moment so I feel really special, luck, privileged I could go on.

So that's it, after training for the Cederberg Escape a little half heartedly, mainly due to the weather and bouts of loneliness on the trail, I have my wish. My ticket.

Well now its down to the training, which if you don't know is pretty much harder than the Epic itself. There are alot of sacrifices made but hey its what I love doing so it's really not that hard.

I particularly enjoy watching and feeling my body adapt to the stress' of training. Our bodies are pretty much amazing, bend them and they can break but ease them into something and they will work for you. Its like nothing else, ok the mind plays a massive role in any sport but you have to put in the time so the body is able to withstand the challenge.

It will be my third Cape Epic and I am enthralled as ever. There can only be one first time but trust me this event grips you inside. If you work hard you can enjoy it, if not it obviously turns into a nightmare. A nightmare for 8 days, that can be pretty tough.

I will keep you updated with my progress.

PS: thanks for my ticket !!!
