Cool people only hang with other cool people....
in the last week a few exciting things happened. I've got RaceFood on board in fueling the desert engine and also the Red Sock movement!
Racefood - an ultra ordinary energy bar.
What I like about racefood is:
1) it weighs only 28gram
2) 86 Cal, ok it is less than an Gel....but racefood is all about sustained energy.
and sustained energy is what I need for multi day desert events.
3) it's small (when you have to carry every thing you need for 5 - 7 days in the desert, weight and size is what matters) (you see, size does actually matter)

and on Sunday, I met this crazy cool chick
at the Jonkershoek Reserve in Stellenbosch.
I was drinking a cup of tea, feeling a bit sorry for myself because I was so tired. I already ran for about 4hours with my 8kg pack and had another 1h to go.
We started chatting about my backpack... I noticed her red socks and said that I've seen some peeps in Stellenbosch running on Fridays...
long story short...the Red Sock movement
"they are a movement dedicated to making a difference, being passionate, inspiring to others and being inspired, staying positive, remembering friends and expressing yourself!" thanks Julie, for being your enthusiastic self!!
Now this is exactly the kind of people that I want around me....and I will be crossing a few deserts with my new red socks!
picks to follow soon!!
ok party peeps, POSITIVITY all around
