UTCT 100km - Documentary My 1st DNF race...

UTCT100 - DNF...not the race I trained for...
The 1st 20km went as planned, 10mins ahead of schedule..at 22km the cramps started (I have NEVER cramped on a run before)...23km start of Platteklip climb and I had no power and couldn't eat anything - this climb took twice as long as it normally would. Thanks Duncan Pringle for the cramp tablets on the top. Unfortunately the cramps didnt stop there and it was a sufferfest just trying to move forward. Thanks to everyone on the route who stopped and offered their assistance. Stephen Griffin you're a legend. I spent 38mins at the Llandudno aid station, 28mins more than planned and just about made the cutoff at HoutBay aid. The steep climb up to Rocket rd and Suther Peak (a.k.a Suffer Peak) was true to it's name - I suffered! and cramping in both legs as soon as I lifted my legs to high...
The night section from Chappies was going slowly but I made up time on the technical descents...and then VERY slowly up the climbs. There was zero power to climb. 8-10hrs I couldn't eat anything and at Constantia Glen I started to vommit and had to pull the plug... I was completely depleted.
Thanks to my crew, you guys were amazing!!! Valentino Arendse, Warren Willemburg, Warnell Engelbrecht, Chantal Willemburg, my kids Daniel, Myles and Jules. I would not have been able to make it that far without your help and support. Thank you Babes and my kids for offering up their entire day to support me. #bestcrewever
