The 26km long first stage starts by tumbling through ten technically challenging kilometres now known as the Valley of a Thousand Rapids, ending in the fabled Black Murray Rapid, before the gradient eases through to the finish of the first stage at Sinister Pool, just above the R617 Swartberg Road bridge outside Underberg. The longer 36 kilometre second stage passes through two gorges laced with technically demanding rapids, interspersed with long deep pools, finishing at Early Mist Farm close to the Coleford resort. The clean water, exciting rapids and serene flats have made it a popular choice with paddlers and their families countrywide, and the race is well established as one of the three biggest canoeing races on the national calendar.

The gut harbours approximately one hundred trillion microbes which play a vital role in our health and wellness. Bacteria are the main species of microbes living in our gut and these have been shown to influence our mood, behaviour and weight. Poor dietary habits such as consuming refined food, high sugar consumption and processed junk are creating dysfunction in the gut. This dysfunction may lead to a leaky gut which has been shown to increase allergies, intolerances, inflammation and fatigue. Learning how to improve gut health is important to help bring balance back into the body’s ecosystem and to start feeling more energized. THE 5 R PROGRAM WHICH WE WILL BE COVERING IN THE WEEK 1.

The Midmar Mile held at the Midmar Dam north of Pietermaritzburg in KwaZulu Natal. The Midmar Mile is the worlds largest open water swimming event. The Midmar Mile draws thousands of competitors each year, both serious international athletes and Olympic medallists to recreational swimmers. The Midmar Mile swim gains its name from its location (the Midmar Dam) and it’s distance (+/- one mile). A unique feature of the race is that while the distance covered is always a mile, depending on rainfall and the water levels in the dam, the distance swum varies from year to year. In years with poor rainfall, competitors are subject to the infamous Midmar sprint start: a bedlam of bodies sprinting across the muddy lake-shore and through the shallows until the water is deep enough to swim.
