Do not run hard or race up any hill that has a name 2. Have a realistic pace schedule, focusing on even effort as opposed to even pace 3. Be cautious from the start…pace not race ◦ The blow ratio is 5:1 for top end of the field and 10:1 at the bottom ◦ In other words, for evert minute you are too fast at Drummond, you will lose 5-10min at the end 4. The up run is all about self-control, especially in the first half 5. Run to landmarks. Aim for the next major hill rather than next 5km…and aim to get there feeling strong 6. Be cautious on descent to Dummond 7. Little Polly’s is not the real Polly Shortts, it’s a trap 8. Don’t waste time on useless rubs or massages. They don’t help, but just waste time 9. Keep moving forward 10. The climbing does not end after Polly Shortts Section 1: Start to Top of Fields Hill Disrespect this section at your peril – you WILL pay later!!!! 1. Tollgate Hill 1,5km & 75m elevation = 5,1% gradient 2. 45th Cutting 2km & 75m elevation = 4,3% gradient Section 1: Start to top of Fields Hill • Be cautious and maintain control & ~24km discipline 3. 45th Cutting to Westville • Relax and check that your 4,3km & 142m elevation = 4,3% gradient breathing is never heavy 4. Cowies Hill • Do not race anybody 2km & 90m elevation = 4,5% gradient • Be careful not to get carried away by 5 other eager runners at the start and 5. Fields Hill by the crowd through Pinetown 3km & 180m elevation = 6,1% gradient 4 • Run / walk strategy must be followed here 3 • Use the few downs and flat sections 2 to recover – don’t push the pace 1 to catch up time Section 2: Fields Hill to Hillcrest Ave of 1.5% incline – you will naturally increase pace IF you have run the previous section with the respected caution it deserves. • This section one can gain some time, get into a rhythm but do not race • Although no major hill lie in Section 2: this section, one is still climbing Top of Fields Make sure you get your Hill to steadily Hillcrest nutrition / hydration refuel here as the next section is tough and ~9km there is still +30km until next support table 1st Support Table in Hillcrest Section 3: Hillcrest to Top of Inchanga Use the down sections to recover, your pace will pick up naturally….don’t force it! At the top of Inchanga pat yourself on the back, as you have ‘broken the back’ of the Up Run • This section is very hard. Do not 1 2 race rather grind this section out Section 3: • Look out for the Kearsney Boys at top of Hillcrest to top of Incahnga Botha’s Hill 1.

  • An Investigation Into Factors Increasing Contamination Risk Posed by Fuel Storage Facilities and Concomitant Methods to Mitigate These Risks
    AN INVESTIGATION INTO FACTORS INCREASING CONTAMINATION RISK POSED BY FUEL STORAGE FACILITIES AND CONCOMITANT METHODS TO MITIGATE THESE RISKS by Torin Pfotenhauer BSc(Hons) University of Natal Submitted in fulfilment of the academic requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ENGINEERING in the School of Chemical Engineering University of KwaZulu-Natal Howard College DURBAN June 2011 - ii - As the candidates Supervisor, I agree / do not agree to the submission of this dissertation. Name______________________ Signature____________________ Date__________ - iii - ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The author acknowledges the following people for their invaluable contribution: Professor Chris Buckley for his extraordinary talent, open mind, insight and care. Dr Jennifer Pretorius who conceived the project. Kantey & Templer for unequivocal support. The Institute of Groundwater Studies from the University of the Free State who funded the project. The South African Petroleum Industry Association who supported the project. Chris Brouckaert who assisted with the data and statistics. Natalie Way-Jones who supported my endeavours. Dr Robert Palmer who sent the laughter down the passage during those late nights. Professor Glenda Matthews who unselfishly submerged herself in my project, understood my data nuances and led me through the data analysis and modelling. - iv - ABSTRACT Light Non-Aqueous Phase Liquids (LNAPLs) are used throughout the world for numerous applications, the most well-known being automotive fuels, such as petrol and diesel. The widespread production, distribution, storage and use of LNAPLs results in the ubiquitous occurrence of spillage to ground (Geller et al, 2000). Considering the hazardous nature of most LNAPLs due to their explosive and toxic characteristics, releases of LNAPLs to ground have well documented human health and ecological consequences.

  • The Endless Run Reflections on the 2008 Comrades
    The Endless Run Reflections on the 2008 Comrades. BY SPENCER FARRAR n October 2007, I was reading a magazine article about how Alberto Salazar had nearly died from a heart attack earlier in the year. What caught my attention, Ihowever, was not how this legendary runner had rebounded from his near-death experience but rather a blurb mentioning that he had won the Comrades Marathon in 1994. Comrades? Never heard of it. Out of sheer curiosity, I put down the magazine and did a quick Google search to assuage my curiosity. My eyes were instantly drawn to the headlines of the fifth Internet-search result: “Fifty-five brutal miles. Five torturous climbs. A ruthless clock. The Comrades Marathon may be the world’s greatest race.” With my interest piqued, I then clicked the link and was taken to an article that Amby Burfoot—himself a renowned sportswriter and former Boston Marathon winner—had written about the world’s oldest and largest ultramarathon. According to the article, the Comrades Marathon is an annual race held every year between the South African cities of Durban and Pietermaritzburg—a grueling distance of 55 asphalt miles. To add to the madness, the race alternates between an uphill and downhill course every year, and runners have to complete the run within 12 hours or they will be unceremoniously disqualified. Comrades is alleg- edly so challenging that even the Kenyans shy away from the competition. As ridiculous as this event sounded, I was immediately hooked. While I had been aware of endurance runs such as Badwater and Western States, I really never felt the compulsion to participate in one.

  • POLTICIZING the RACE the Silent Protest of 1981
    WORK IN PROGRESS. PLEASE DO NOT CITE. Jo-Anne Tiedt, ‘Contesting Comrades’: Writing the Comrades Marathon on the politically charged roads of South Africa, 1980 – 1990. (Honours dissertation, UKZN, 2009). POLTICIZING THE RACE The silent protest of 1981 …they accused us through the media… of politicizing the race… they said we were making it into a political issue, and we said in response that “no, the Comrades committee had politicized it by linking [placing it on] it to Republic Day”. Republic Day had enormous, to our way if thinking… political symbolism. Because under this Republic you are celebrating apartheid.1 The historical narrative of the Comrades Marathon is far more complicated than what is portrayed in those narratives officially endorsed by the Comrades Marathon Association (CMA). The narratives depicted, attempt to portray a road race which is almost completely isolated from the political context during which it was staged. They have endeavoured thorough such narratives, and they still do, to ignore the effect of apartheid on those living within the borders of South Africa, steadfast in the idealistic belief that sport and politics are two completely separate social endeavours. The official narratives as produced by the CMA, and those history books they endorse, cover the race from its inception until present day. They tell the history of a race considered to be one of the most prestigious ultra-marathons in the world. Yet, such a grand narrative seemingly separates itself from the different contexts in which it finds itself; it portrays the race and its runners as untainted by the racial policies and apartheid legislation which affected the country and infiltrated every aspect of South African society, including sport and therefore the Comrades Marathon.
