surfing (sort of/not really) at muizenburg


Sunday morning I convinced my friends Nick and Trevor to join me for a 10K race starting at UCT. Here we are at 6:15, probably the earliest any of us have woken up since being in Cape Town.


but we finished in under an hour and got medals!

later that morning we went to Mzoli's, a well-known braai place (I don't know a better term for it) in the Guguletu township outside of Cape Town. Sundays are a huge day at Mzoli's--the place was packed by 11 AM. I rarely eat meat anymore, but I was starving after waiting for so long and ate a giant piece of some sort of delicious meat. It tasted good for the few minutes it took me to eat it, but I felt pretty shitty after. Still, Mzoli's was a fun way to spend a post-race Sunday.

of course we wore our medals

early morning DJ


much like yesterday, Sunday was a day of contrasts. at 7 AM I was running a huge race through the fanciest of tree-lined Cape Town suburbs and two hours later I was on a minibus to a township. there doesn't seem to be much in between.
