Jeep Msinsi - Shongweni - Win

The multicross event is certainly gaining popularity amongst the Natalians - good to see some new faces out on the course! There were a couple of chaps in Orca gear - does that mean that tar is boring !?? I think they have seen the light.

5km run started us off - nothing too hectic or challenging, after the Xterra Shongweni run course my expectations were perhaps a little too high. Thats probably why the Msinsi series is popular - there is nothing too challenging on the courses so it appeals to everyone.

Bike course was pretty good - 2 x 13km loops saw severe congestion with everyone being out doing laps at the same time! Maybe next year the organisers can take advantage of more of the surrounding hills !!??

The second run was short and steep, its always a killer running after pushing yourself on the bike - good brick training i suppose.

My teammates cleaned up, Martin won the run-ride-paddle event men's and Jeannie Bomford won the ladies section.

Thanks to my Tins and Karlee for coming and supporting me today - my girls are the best!
