Message from your Chairperson

MEDITATION. Is it madness or moderation? It is definitely madness to attempt to use a holistic approach to fine tune improvements. What do you change? Conversely it is also defi-nitely madness to dissect topics and assume it will improve the bigger picture. If I run today will it improve my chances of a better race in a week, two or months time? March is the time when most Comrades and Two Oceans runners build up for a 'big' April. It is in this time when we make the most criti-cal decisions to set ourselves up to achieve what is most likely the big-gest volatile target of the year. Our thoughts bounce between success and failure. Success and fail-ure are many micro topics apart, yet a small nudge in one direction determines which will prevail. Meditation can create better planning so that we can actively become the conductor in just that nudge. In an event there are points which need to be in place beforehand, during and afterwards. Sometimes even long afterwards. Many of these points are unrelated to the true goal, but still need to be handled for a smooth event. As an example, if you are going away from home for a race, planning accommodation and logistics become important. These points sound simple on the surface and the holistic approach tells us: If the run is about fitness, injury and not being disqualified, does it really matter where I stay? Meditation will bring the balance as the micro decisions in gauging the risk of where you stay could change the pathway of the event. You choose to stay close to the start to sleep later, but then the crowd that gets there early make enough noise to wake you up, or worse, the crew that sets the race up only finish setting up at 2am and make that same noise. Sometimes it does not go to plan. It could be the time to sadly choose to substitute on your Two Oceans or Comrades. In your meditation always remember there is no total failure. There is failure of a goal, but alternate goals can be made. Being injured can be an opportunity. Sharing is something runners need. In long races the runner experi-ences more emotional battles than they planned for. When you look at the runners around you, evaluate the known and realize it is not completely known. Meditate on a fresh new viewpoint. They also gave up, they also conquered. They kept with the plan, they threw the plan away. They got up early, they signed up for the next race. The club is in a similar position at this time of year. We have two races coming up in the next two months and the planning stage is taking a spotlight in the meetings now. Sponsorship has changed to Investgold Wilderness Festival for the Two Lagoons and remains Anton le Roux Vervoer with for the Hoekwil race. More about the details from the sec-retary. On behalf of the club committee, an extended big thank you to both sponsors! Let us lead the way forward together, Go Team RED!

The year is flying by and it is almost time for our first club

race, the Investgold Two Lagoons! In the coming weeks I will

send out forms to be completed for helpers on the big day.

We ask that its all hands on deck for this important race. We

have a sponsor that is willing to up the sponsorship next year

depending on the outcome of this year's race. We have to

make a big impression and ensure the race is a huge success. We have loads of flyers that need

to be handed out, Evette will have some at the Wilderness Time Trial, please take a handful and

handout where ever you go.

On the website side (www.cmce.co.za), the registration form, code of conduct and constitution of

the club are posted for your perusal. We are working hard to get the mobile app going and mak-

ing it much easier for our members to contact us, order gear, keep up to date with all important

notifications.

To all those running in upcoming events, enjoy your race and I leave you with this quote by

George S Patton;

“Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run

the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always

tired in the morning, noon and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired.”

"Always keep in mind the motivation for pursuing your goal It will help you keep moving and stay

in control Don’t slow down, time is over due Forward momentum will see you through"

Interesting Article

RUNNER INTEREST

Why you should never date a trail runner February 14th, 2019 by Tory Scholz | Posted in Trail Running

If you are looking for that perfect partner, we recommend steering clear from trail runners. If you’re looking for someone to spend free

time with, then look further than the forest. The reality of trail runners is not what you see on Instagram and their main squeeze will al-

ways be trail running.

Every trip away is a runcation

It doesn’t matter if you’re going away for one night, or a few months. The trail runner in your life will make any vacation into a running

vacation. If you want to go away somewhere, that is their ticket to adventure somewhere new. They will research trails, mountains,

parks, and where you can shuttle them to and from in a new town. If you aren’t a trail runner, this means spending most of your vacation

alone.

They’re never around

When they are training for a goal race, they are never around. When they are around, they are tired, hungry, sore, and can sometimes

forget small tasks like showering.

New routes are their love language

If your idea of date night is a movie and dinner, think again. Not only will a trail runner be too tired to get off the couch, the key to a trail

runner’s heart is planning a new trail or route for them to explore.

They never skip church

Want to go for brunch or do errands on a Sunday? Think again. ‘The Church of Dirt’ is every weekend. In fact, it’s twice every weekend.

If they’re not racing, they’re volunteering at a race, or training for one. Saturdays and Sundays are always spent in the forest and moun-

tains for hours at a time. Even if they’re finished by 3:00 p.m. they are likely too exhausted to do anything functional or productive for the

remainder of the day.

Dressing up means wearing a clean running outfit

From black toenails to chafe scars, we don’t do what we love to look good. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. When we aren’t running, we

are recovering from a run and planning the next. Laundry wastes energy that could be spent in the trails. There will be piles of laundry,

that are always semi-clean, and can be used for another run.

They will ask you to crew

When the trail runner in your life asks you to be a part of their goal race and help them crew or pace, it is a sign of their love for you. But,

proceed with caution. Crewing and pacing involves staying up for over 24-hours feeding, changing, and burping them like they are a

toddler. Unless you want to spend your weekends sleep deprived and making memories is beautiful settings–just say no.

Free time means more running time

Planning romantic date nights, weekends away, or anything a normal person would find exciting won’t happen with a trail runner. They

have already planned their weekends and spare time for adventuring. Their excitement is trail running. That is all.

You will have to rescue them

This sounds romantic. What it really means is that you are a shuttle driver for point-to-point adventure runs, as well as the newest mem-

ber of your local search and rescue squad.

They count calories

They know whether Lays or Simba potato chips has more calories and will always choose the bag with the most. Calories mean more

time in the trails, so the more the better. If you’re looking for that romantic partner to share food with–look elsewhere. Trail runners need

their fuel, want it caloric, and will not share. They are like magicians at making food disappear, and eating can be an emergency.

Trail time isn’t on time

Trail runners lose a sense of time when they run. Keep this in mind if you are ever making plans for after their run. Add one to two hours

onto the time they say they will be finished.

They have as much gear as a cyclist

If you thought trail running was a minimalist

sport, think again. There are multiple pairs of

shoes for every type of trail and terrain. There

are running packs for small, medium, and big

adventures. There are layers upon layers of

smelly lycra. The gear with the holes in it? Yes,

they still need it for their drop bag at 70K.

They only talk about running, dirt, mountains,

food, adventures, races, or more running

If you’re going to date a trail runner, you better

be a really good listener, or have a bank of run-

ning responses. We suggest the following re-

sponses, “What was the elevation gain?” Or

“How technical was the descent after kilometre

fourteen?” And “Are you still alternating between

gels and real food in training these days?” You

can also try, “Did Strava sync on that remote

route?” If you’re really close, ask them if their

chafing scar has healed.

You have been warned!!
