I entered the Absa Cape Epic...
I am South African, its part of who I am - that competitive streak that runs through us naturally attracts one to these sorts of events, The Absa Cape Epic, The Comrades, The Marathon Des Sables, Hawaii Ironman, and so on!

Best Results:
First year racing, first year on a mountain bike.
I would say racing here at the Absa Cape Epic in 2014 would be a highlight, especially because its home soil and my first stage race.
The second would be taking on Australia's toughest Mountain bike Marathon in Canberra and surviving - almost 8 hours in the saddle, a run in with a kangaroo, bush fires, 42 degree heat, 12 crashes, broken equipment, and much much more! Couldn't DNF on my first event - ended up running the last 5km with the bike on my back. Please to have finished! Third would be the great friend i have made, my epic team mate Chris Hellman.
