The Classica de Namaacha II race took place this last Sunday 16th October, starting in Pequenhos Libombos dam, up to Namaacha, and then back over the dam, finishing at the road boom gate. The 80km were tough, made even tougher by the 16km of climbing up to Namaacha and the 30km/hour head-wind on the way back. The course record of 2 hours 32 minutes and 45 seconds set by Tim Fair in 2007 remains intact, although Miguel Duarte's valiant attempt at breaking the record fell short by only 7 seconds... Sounds like that Yossou Ndour song may become his theme song! :-). All 12 starters finished the race, quite incredible considering the tough race conditions.
Anyway, here are some race pics to liven up your day.
