Two Oceans 2009 21km Update

Written on March 28, 2009 – 7:58 pm | by Glass Pearl |

With less than two weeks to go to my first ever road race, I’m starting to feel nervous and excited.

I can’t say I’m as prepared as I wanted or intended to be. 

If I knew 16 weeks ago what I know now, I would have paced my training a lot better and would have been able to run a lot easier.  Hindsight is always 20/20 though.

Regardless, I am at the level I am and will have to accept it.

Today I went to Diskem and Clicks to price some energy and electrolyte replacement gel to take in the race. 

It is damn expensive! 

Diskem’s gels were priced from R15.99 per sachet.  I found a brand at Clicks that cost R8.99 each.

Anything that will help make the race easier is welcome.

I am already planning for next year’s race, which will be on my birthday and have been recruiting a few  prospective new runners to join me.
