Another close, affordable and utterly awesome vacation, our feature this month in TRAVEL & RELAXATION. So glad we found this one, meet...
This seems like such a special place, STUNNING SERENE VIEWS, each lodge with its 'own' 'private' Natal Midlands Garden. Its incredible the way they have laid this property and its lodges out, each seeming to stand alone, isolated from anything and everything else, every view, inside and out seeming to be so far from other people, but animals seem to have freedom of your beautiful 'yard'...the way it should be. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. The lodges are designed with so much potential, you can imagine do so much more from a decor perspective yet its perfect at the same time, its modest, its simple, its peaceful, its uncluttered. The building design of each is what you want for your own home, or home away from homes, each with its own Jacuzzi & Braai Deck, forcing you to do nothing but mingle with loved ones and yourself, taking in the outdoors and the perfect green pastures. LOVE NATAL. LOVE THE WINDMILL RESORT. And other than the self-catering lodges, 9 of them, there the country hotel, a stunning restaurant, conference facility and wedding venue that is breathtaking with its glass front view. Their rates are so reasonable as well, starting at R375 p/person sharing...can do that yes?! Contact them @ thewindmills.co.za
BRING IT ON!!!! This is an ULTRA TRIATHLON MARATHON you don't want to miss, and although its definitely not for the faint-hearted, this is DEFINITELY an event you want to do. If you not fit enough, GET-FIT, if you not ready, PREPARE, this is our challenge next year, make it yours too. This month in MARATHONS & SPORTING EVENTS our focus is Triathlons and Cross Triathlons. Meet....
Firstly, AGAIN, we are so lucky to have the spaces we do in South Africa to both feel and see the beauty, as well as compete in AWESOME events like this. They couldn't have chosen a better venue, THE MIDLANDS, its beautiful, its serene, and its South Africa at its finest.
Now, we've focused on Triathlons, Mountain Biking, and Open Water Swimming, and yes the original idea was to focus on Cross-Triathlons, BUT, we couldn't let this event slide, ITS AWESOME!!!
Now it is an ULTRA, so be warned, you need to be a little more than fit, but there are two versions if you are not that fit, or Triathlon versed, so if you cant do the biggie, then there is a not-so-hard-version-but-still-a-very-big-challenge version.
The Sprint is a 600M Swim, 20km Cycle & a 5km Run, but make sure you are completely aware of what you are getting yourself into when doing this one, it is a sprint after all and highly competitive.
The BIG ONE is the ULTRA, which is a 1.9km Swim, a 90km Cycle, and a 21KM Run...see ITS TOUGH!!!
You've missed the NOVEMBER 2014 Deadline, but pay attention and hook up on their FACEBOOK PAGE, or follow the website, and see what it is about, as there is another ULTRA in March.
This event has been selected by TSA as the South African Long Distances Triathlon Championships, making it one of the most prestigious events in South Africa, which means, IT ROCKS!!! (Just btw, if you are an athlete wanting to do the World Long Distance Triathlon Championships, you have to compete in this one.)
This exciting series is in its 6th year and race numbers and infrastructure have grown immensely. This half Iron Man and Sprint distance marathon is staged at the beautiful MidMar Dam and incorporates some of the safest training routes and most scenic in the country, no wait, correction, in Africa.
Up for the challenge of your life.....? Contact them @ Midlands Ultra.
(Another, btw, they support an awesome charity called 'I CARE', which is dedicated to finding a sustainable solution to challenges facing street children in South Africa. Its a Holistic Program and covers Awareness, Outreach, Rehabilitation, Housing/Shelter, Education & Skills/Job Creation.)
The MIDLANDS ULTRA TRIATHLON SERIES employs between 35-45 staff members per event from the local township of Mpophomeni....RESPECT!!!
