We were to have a youth sports event today in church in the afternoon but it was cancelled on the Friday Eve so I thought I should just wear the attire I had planned to wear today. But on my way to the bus stop I decided to do a little run. Then I decided to run the next major stop where I connect the second matatu to church. When I got there I was warmed up I didn't want to cool down so I proceeded to church on foot and saved 80 bob š

OLTEPESI NAKUTESEKA
I don't believe in sugar-coating rides. If a route is difficult, I'll tell you exactly how difficult it is before you commit. So before someone calls this ride "short," think thrice.
Oltepesi is the last decent trading centre on Magadi Road before you head towards Lake Magadi. Lake Magadi is probably the closest place to Nairobi that gives you a glimpse of what "hell on earth" might feel likeāall within a day's ride.
The journey starts off gently enough. First, conquer the RongaiāKiserian stretch before climbing to the famous Corner Baridi. The descent to Kisamis can be tricky, with crosswinds waiting to catch the unsuspecting Drop King. Resist the temptation to freewheel. A little braking and steady pedalling will keep you in full control as you navigate the section.
Soon you'll arrive at Olepolos, the famous nyama choma stop in Kajiado County. This is your last chance to make a sensible decision. Once you cross this point, you are fully committed to whatever Oltepesi has in store for you.
If you already know you're not ready for the legendary Chairman and Chairlady lung-buster climbs on the return journey, turn around here. There is absolutely no shame in itāyou'll thank yourself later.
The descent through the Maasai villages into Oltepesi is much friendlier to MTB and gravel bikes. If you're on a road bike, take it easy. The surface isn't particularly kind to skinny tyres, so descend with patience and caution.
Once you get to Oltepesi, eat well, refill every water bottle you have, and mentally prepare yourself. On the climb back, you will meet the famous Bird of Ng'ethe. By then, you'll understand exactly why Lucky Dube sung "Born to Suffer".
If you're a favourite child, a last-born, or a lover boy, I honestly don't know what you're looking for in Oltepesi.
This ride is therapy on two wheels. Whether you're dealing with stress, heartbreak, hard break, or just life in general, Oltepesi has a strange way of clearing your mind. By the time you're back, you'll have forgiven everyoneāincluding your ancestors.
If you've made it this far and you're still interested, then you're exactly the kind of person we're looking for.

HYDRATE BUT DON'T OVER HYDRATE
A lot of things happened during this yearās Comrades Marathon. Among them is this of Siphosakhe who developed severe chest pains and began coughing up bloody, bubbly fluid from 28km. He still pushed to 70km before his legs gave out and he walked the rest to the finish line, aided by fellow runners. Emergency service got him to hospital where X-rays revealed he had over hydrated pre-race, causing water to spread to his lungs.
