As an afterthought to the past month of racing, the Midmar Multisport Festival wasnt a focus, nor a big expectation. The focus didnt really change, but the race surprised me, and ended being a far bigger occasion than I’d imagined.

This is just a clip to create a small vibe of the race over the weekend.

San Diego and Temecula, could make for fine humour in this report. Most would be at my own expense, but I am taking to the American way just fine I reckon. Starbucks, pumpkin pie for breakfast, shooting hoops in the driveway, droving the largest 4×4thing you can [...]
