Lindikhaya Mthangayi from the Nedbank running club green dream team may have a 40-tag pinned to his vest indicating that the pastor from Khayelitsha is a veteran but don’t let that fool you.
Mthangayi took victory in the Peninsula Marathon which doubled up as the Western Province Championships, crossing the line in 2:18:02 to pick up the overall title as well as veteran title in the process.
“The performance today is indicative of how the training is going for Two Oceans,” said a happy Mthangayi after the race. “My goal for this year is to win the Two Oceans and I feel good heading towards it.”
Polish International athlete Dominika Stelmach who runs for the Nedbank RC was also down in Cape Town on holiday and took 2nd place in the half marathon, running 1:18:31. Stelmach is looking to both Two Oceans and Comrades this year, events in which she placed in the top 10 earning gold medals in both last year.
In the Aurum Marathon, Nedbank RC athlete and green dream team member Deanne Horn took victory in a new marathon personal best of 2:47:50. Horn, who has represented South Africa over 50 & 100km distances will head into this years Comrades Marathon in great form eyeing her first Comrades gold medal finish.
