A very humid stage with some serious hill running. The legs had a major 'off day'so I decided to make it a short stage before changing support-team from Renette & Tony of East London to Rob and his whife who is my host for the next couple of days.

Ron is member of the Port Alfred running club and - has been doing longdistance running for 40 years ! It makes even my 26 y. of competetive running a 'warmup' :-)

Nb: the data for the reports 8-12 Feb. has been recovered from my broken spare nokia phone. The start & finish times is notaccurate for these reports. But the precise gps-data from the stages is avaliable at sportstracker and documentation pictures at the world run gallery.
