Great weekend doing my first marathon the MTN Barberton race and to tip it off we had fantastic accommodation at Misty Valley Lodge.

I had a really good race for my first 75km, I was nervous in the beginning but excited to start new and fresh in the new season.

I was told about the great hill that was expected in the race, so I planned to take my own pace up the hill. Making sure I didn’t blow going up the hill and was able to carry on with the rest of the race feeling good.  I felt really good on the race and strong going up the climb which was a positive. The last few kilometers felt longer then usually but I was very happy to have crossed the finish line in 9^th for my first marathon. Over all it was a good race testing the legs in all areas and seeing where ones fitness is for the start of the season. Thank you to the organizers for a great event.

Of course we had great accommodation at Misty Valley Lodge, where you are put first before them. This is experienced in the tremendous service from the staff, the food was fantastic and of course accommodation was 5 star 

BMC produced some great results on the day: with Candice Neethling come 2^nd in the marathon.

Savannah Vosloo came 2^nd in the half marathon



and Carlo Marzoppi,



don’t forget our youngest of the team Saffron Vosloo winning the 20km race at Barberton.



Well done to all of you guys truly good results.
