Hopefully I'll be back into the world of game development again. This weekend's race has been a long term effort to get through. From the planning and preperation, to meeting the team and getting the gear I've probably spent last 6 weeks free time getting ready. Game dev has just had to take a back seat.
I completed a 150km adventure race in 31hours and 9 minutes! We hiked, cycled, paddled and body boarded our way through the mountains near Loskop dam (Near Middleburg, Mpumalanga, South Africa). In 3 days I had 5 hours sleep.
I completed in a really awesome team, even when we were all really tired everyone was smiling and joking. Even when getting lost added 2 hours to our race time, we smiled and did the extra, joking and laughing all the way. The last 12 hours were really tough and became more a mental challenge than physical.
What an experience

Reading this thread makes me looking for my running shoes, so I can start running again. :-)
I used to run in the evenings (twice or three times a week), but since I got involved in Lazarus/fpc, the computer is much more tempting and sitting on a chair is more comfortable than running outside.
As I found out having running shoes and running have nothing to do with each other.. my current excuse is the cold.. I have nothing to do about that

On saturday evening I ran my first ever marathon. I ran the Ottosdal nite marathon (www.ottosdaldrafentrap.co.za) the only full marathon ran at night in South Africa.
I ran the first half marathon in exactly 2 hours, I reached the 32km mark in exactly 3 hours and then a cramp in my right calf really slowed me down. The last 10kms took me 1 hour 21 minutes.
My time was 4:21:01 - that puts me in the F group for the comrades start - and I wanted the C group. I'll be running a 50km ultra marathon on March 17 and maybe two more marathons on Apr 7/8 and Apr 14/15. I'm going to do my best to get under the 4:20 mark.
In two weeks time I'll be doing my next adventure race, and again at the end of April.

Great stuff William! Congratulations on finishing. I know you are not happy with your time, but it's a start and I'm sure you will improve on it in the next few races. I'm envious of your dedication .
