Rocklands 2008 XC well supported & organised!

Monday 28/07/2008

What started out with a heavy downpour Sunday morning turned into a very nice and successful day. Everybody pitched in with their resources, money or their labour.

Recieved a lot of postive feedback! Thanks Hussy for the pics!













Paul : "And in my mind also on the most difficult route thus far this season ... In hindsight, I had a absolute jol. I really enjoyed the cross country today and well done to Mitchells Plain Titans. You can be proud of your cross country event today. Tough no doubt, but enjoyable"

Hussy : "one of my favourite courses so far i think, it had a bit of everything, those monster sand dunes were a killer!"

Ratso : "I would ordinarily not believe that, but one of the advantages of being really pedestrian is that in the middle of my race I got to spectate the leaders of the Senior Mens race going up that first dune and even they were going at a walking pace"

Peekay : "Best of the day: Good organising, good company, challenging route"

Pooper : "None-the-less, well done MP Titans, great route, great run - lots of fun! Glad I made the effort"

M : "Phew, once again another HECTIC cross country... they seem to get more and more tough... "

Missy : "all in all, an excellent course well done mp titans"

Only incidents reported at our info/results desk was lost keys and clothing.

Spotted a few of the forumites : Hussy, Missy, Paul, Ratso, Pooper, M & Chris G. Heard Hans, Peekay, The Umpire, Helen & Wilby was there but didn't see them.

The Plainsman was there to take photo's of the under 13's!

The sun is out! Hoping for a 4:45 finish pending no 30km runs and a 2:12 Freedom run finish.

Sat : PPC 42 - info

Take the first Malmesbury turnoff. It is an off-ramp to the left. At the stop street, turn left and then you go under the N7. Keep going,go over the big 4-way robot and up quite a steep, short hill. At the stop street, take a right and you stay on that road until you get the Ceres/Hermon turnoff to the left. Take the left - you'll see a sign on the pole directing you to the race. From there you can just follow. You go up and over the mountain, and turn first left on the other side. That road leads to Riebeeck West and the PPC factory. You actually drive right through the village and out the other side. But there will be lots of cars going there, you can't really go wrong. Just get the early because there is usually a back-up of traffic.
