First it was the Two Oceans last month and now the Slave Route. It’s taken 5 years to get back here and it feels great.
This race is awesome! It takes you through historical parts of Cape Town – District Six, Long Street, Bo-Kaap and City central. At some point there was a little platform with the message: “Slaves were auctioned here.”
And then there’s the attempt to run up Koeksister Hill…
Then the ultimate reward at the top of Koeksister HIll: you get a koeksister and a Jive cool drink.
Actually, it’s thanks to Mthi who asked me to run this very race for him last year. That kick-started the most consistent training I’ve had in 5 years.
Now to keep it up with a race a month
