Leg 1: 3km paddle – Flyover and Map of Paddle Leg Due to the recent seal attack in the lagoon, we will not be paddling the traditional route around Schaapen Island. Instead we will paddle a 3km route parallel to the coastline, heading south towards the Langebaan Yacht Club, we will turn around a moored yacht in Sandbaai, near the yacht club jetties and return to where we started. In the event of extremely adverse weather conditions the paddle leg may be cancelled altogether. Leg 2: 17km Cycle – Flyover and Map of Cycle Leg The bike route will be exactly the same as the last few years, we will cycle a 2-lap route going out on the tar over the “Mamba” to the Park Gate where we will turn and come back either on the gravel “White Road” in front of The Farmhouse, if you are on a MTB, or on the tar back up the “Mamba” if you are on a road bike (or take your chances on the gravel), then back to the start/finish and then set-off for your identical 2nd lap. Leg 3: 5km run – Flyover and Map of Run Leg Run leg will be the usual 1 lap route to the turnpoint on the “White Road” where a refreshment table awaits you, then sprint/jog/walk back to the Smith Street finish. Looking forward to seeing you on Sunday 1 December! Enquiries: Rob Meintjes: lagoonlife@gmail.com, 083-635 2557 |
