While the Om Die Dam 50km took center stage this past weekend with a green dream team domination at the event, the weekend also saw the welcome return to the road of Nedbank running club’s star athlete Annie Bothma.
After missing most of the beginning of the season due to injury which saw Bothma miss her debut marathon which was scheduled at Peninsula, Bothma returned to winning ways on her first race back, taking victory in the Ravensmead 15km and setting a new South African list leading time for the year.
“I am so happy just to be back on the road and doing what I love,” said Bothma. “To take the win and also a new SA lead is a great confidence booster for the rest of this year.” Bothma looks to take this form into next months Old Mutual Two Oceans Half marathon.
In international news, Nedbank running club Kenya’s Bernard Kipkemoi Bii finished 3rd in the China Critic Bank Nanjing Half Marathon in China. The Kenyan athlete finished 3rd in last years Old Mutual Two Oceans Half Marathon and looks to better that next month.
