Reports & Results

This catchy tune was my personal theme song this year at the Garmin Wartrail. Everytime I bumped into athletes, seconds, marshals, medics, locals etc. this tune would pop up and I found myself singing it out loud to the amusement of those in earshot.

Events would not be the same without the participation of Abel van der Merwe (the ‘Bloed’ part of Team Bloed en OMO) and his post-race reports. Here he recites the tale of his Witteberg adventure…

Photographer Kelvin Trautman took some stunning photos at the Garmin Wartrail (20-22 March 2010). A few of them are posted here.

Jacques ‘Garmin’ Booysen got more adventure than most during the mountain run stage of the 2010 Garmin Wartrail when he walked along the wrong ridgeline. 14 hours after the start, ‘Garmin’ walked off the mountain and into a festive party at a remote farmhouse.

We were by far the youngest team to line up at the start of the Ystervark en Lekker club race. This being our first “Dark Zone” race we did not know what to expect. We did however hope to at least finish. Although we were nervous before the start, we were actually really excited to be taking part in a senior level race, ‘old school’ style.

With the Little Queen Ant unable to take part, being worried she would hurt herself before the Cape Epic, it was time for the worker ants to go out and play. How fortunate we were to come across the Ystervark & Lekker AR to rid ourselves of our pent-up energy having not needed to earn our keep this time round!
