Thanks once again and see you en route to durban!

A word of thanks to you and your team for organizing the race this morning. Everything was very well synchronized with no glitches. The water tables was very well manned and the soup at the finish was divine.
God willing I will be back should you have a training run next year.
Keep well.

Dear Nicky and everyone else involved in Hills for Lindsey
Thank you for all the effort you put into yesterday’s run.
I had a fantastic run-much of it due to the many volunteers along the way.
The soup just topped it all!

Thank you again for a superbly organised training run, besides being throughly enjoyable you will not believe how much confidence I now have! Suddenly the Comrades beast does not look quite so big, I just might make it!
Please on my thanks to all the helpers along the way, the waterpoints were superb, friendly and well stocked! It was often hard to move on!!! :-)
I carried a couple of goos just-in-case, but managed to "live off the land" so to speak, and stomach felt good, so am going to try the same on Comrades. Please could you tell me what sort of food can one expect at the Comrades waterpoint.... ie are there likely to be energade, bananas, biscuits, potatoes? I seemed to do well on those yesterday!
As for the soup afterwards, it was delicious and very very appreciated! A big Thank you to the cook and helpers!

I just want to thank you and your team for the wonderfull run I had yesterday. I was my first training run with you and hopefully it won`t be my last. The refresment tables along the route were excellent and the friendliness of the people at these tables were remarkable especially the lady on Black Hill with the black bag playing the song of Black Eyed Peas and the gentlemen at the table with the Comrades board. I think all the clubs can learn from you how a race should be organised.
Unfortunately I didn`t complete the whole run, I went back to the club when I got to the bottom of Black Hill and I was dissapointed in myself afterwards because I felt quite good when I finished - I could have done the last few kilometers I`m sure.
Please ask the ladies who made the soup if they won`t consider going to Comrades wiht us to rather give us some their soup at the finish? It is much,much nicer than the Comrades soup.
Thank you once again from the bottom of my heart. I really enjoyed the day.
Regards
Thea Botha (Brackenfell Club)

I want to thank you soooooooo much for an awsome day yesterday. The route, the weather and the support at all the water tables was out of this world.

Please thank every one that was involved on my behalf.

Just wanted to say thank-you to FHAC for an unbelievable run yesterday. Weather was perfect, route was magnificent but most of all the organization, friendly smiles, words of encouragement & delicious snacks etc at each & every water station was just amazing. So incredible to be a part of such a giving running community
Thank-you for the opportunity to be part of it
I rang the bell for Lindsay & thoroughly enjoyed the soup!
I know my fellow AAC buddies will agree with me – AWESOME!
Kind regards,
Terry Deats
****************************************************************
Just to thank you and the rest of the team for organizing such a great run again yesterday. This is the second time that I have done it and I have to say you guys are tops. The butternut soup at the end, what more can I say, think this is why I came back again and hope to continue to do so over the years to come.
Thanks and regards

Dear Nikki and Fish Hoek Club members
Thank you so very much for a FANTASTIC day yesterday. Thank you for the wonderful support along the road , the excellent organisation and the SUPERB soup at the end of the run.
It truly was an awesome day with, I thought I would never say it, but "an enjoyable 56km training run!!!!"
Thanks so much Nikki and please pass on my utmost appreciation to all who assisted along the route.

****************************************************************
Hi Nikki thankyou and all your team for yet another great 4 Hills 4 Lindsay. The weather gods were kind, the route stunning, and the organization faultless as always. As always it was a highlight of the running year
4H4L is the only run I know where you sometimes get smoked mussels at a feeding station! Again we were not disappointed and as it was the third last feeding station I was needing some new muscles by then
Best wishes
Joe
****************************************************************
A short note to thank you guys and in particular you Nikki and your team for organising such a superb long run yesterday. I only wish that running clubs in general could take a leaf from your book and provide the same kind of support and seconding that you provided. I certainly appreciated what you guys did and am grateful that I had the opportunity of participating in the day.
Thank you once again for a fantastic day.
Best Regards

Thanks so much for the run yesterday and sorry I was only able to run a short time with the group- what a popular run it is! My legs are very heavy and I plan to take this week VERY easy – so that I am strong for African X- likewise Ian needs to take it easy!
I hope the rest of your run went very well.
Take care and we hope to see you soon.
Thanks again Nikki.

Just a few words to say “THANK YOU” to you and the team for a well organized “race” yesterday! The weather played along, there was more than enough to eat & drink on the route while the Butternut soup at the finish was awesome and a winner as always.
Thanks again for organizing this very important run for us and allowing me to be part of it. Much appreciated.
Kind regards.

Thank you very much for a superb run yesterday. It was the first 4 hills I've done since 2005 (when Lindsay was running). It was a really special day with lots of good memories.
Thanks also to you and your team for the excellent organisation - the seconding stations were brilliant and all the seconders were very friendly and encouraging - on what must have been a very long day for some. And the catering was brilliant - everything that one could possibly ever want to eat on a run and more! (I've yet to be convinced about the mussels!)
Thank you so much once again. I hope your preparation for Comrades is going smoothly and that you have a great run.
Kind regards
Theresa

I was so daunted by the prospect of running 56km yesterday, but it was such a wonderful experience (and of course such a beautiful day). My body had just decided that jelly babies (and jube jubes) are simply the best long-distance running invention for yumminess and energy rolled into one. “So do they serve jelly babies at Comrades, Joe?” I asked my fantastic and ridiculously experienced running partner for the day, getting excited at that prospect alone. Imagine my huge disappointment when he told me that they don’t! So I will be having to dedicate one of my little blue “bags” on my running belt just for those, as now I am hooked …Thanks for a superbly organised event. I had heard so many “wow” stories about this run before and I can certainly concur with all of them!
Kind regards, Kari
****************************************************************
I would just like to say a huge "thank you" to you and Fish Hoek Athletics Club for the great run yesterday.
The Four Hills for Lindsay was a great training run for Comrades.
Thank you so much for all the effort put into organising this run. Considering that it was only a "pack-run", the organisation was super! Thank you to all the volunteers at the water tables: The selection at the water tables was also fantastic! Thanks for the jelly-babies, banana, banana-bread, potatoes etc.
Thank you to Don Oliver, not only for his training guide, but also for supporting us on the run.
Thank you for the great soup at the end - very yummy!
Congratulations on a run well organised and thoroughly enjoyed by all.
Kind regards
Angelique Smith
Strand Athletics Club
****************************************************************
I just wanted to say how extremely impressed I was with yesterday’s run!
The organisation was fantastic and everyone at the water tables were so friendly and supportive, I thoroughly enjoyed my run.
I am extremely new to running, as have always been a cyclist , never thinking I was able to run or would enjoy it and I think I am now converted, and cycling will be taking a back seat!
Thanks again, what a great day and can’t wait for next year.
Kind regards

Just to say thank you so much for a fabulously organized event yesterday – I’m a running friend of Nicky Horenz and Di Glenday (both VOB-ers too)– so the three of us ran together and did the whole 56k. It was only my second time doing this “4 hills for Lyndsay” run – and I felt privileged to be part of the event – so well done to you and your fantastic team – every helper was so friendly and supportive and all the “supplies” / sustenance were excellent!
Kind regards

I participated in my 1st Four Hills for Lindsay run yesterday and just wanted to say a huge thank you.
What an awesome experience - loved every minute and that doesn't happen often! The route itself is beautiful but what made it even more special was your stunning team of helpers en route - organised, encouraging and always cheerful.
It was a superb day out on the road and one which will be very fondly remembered. Please pass on my sincere and heartfelt thanks to your team - very much appreciated.
Hopefully Comrades will be as good an experience ....
See you out on the road and wishing you all the best for your Comrades run.

Hello Nikki and your fantastic team
Just a mail to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH for the wonderful support we received from you and the team yesterday. We thoroughly enjoyed the abundance of snacks, water powerade and coke and of course, the friendliness and willingness of the team. The soup just gave us renewed energy after running the 56kms.
We look forward to doing this race again with the Fish Hoek club in the future.

Thanks to you and the members of Fish Hoek running club for a most enjoyable and well organized run.
The run was a real reminder of the reason for running. The beautiful scenery, meeting and chatting to people on the run who were friendly and enjoying the day and the enthusiastic seconding teams for whom nothing was too much trouble and who dished out loads of encouragement along with great munchies along the way and at the end.
The run for me really captured the ethos of running and was a fitting tribute to Lindsay.

Dear Nikki and team
Once again, "same procedure as every year James", I would like to compliment you and your team for a magnificent 4 Hills for Lindsay run. For the mere R50 this run goes a helluva long way. The seconding is brilliant, the volunteers kind, friendly and motivating, the route is tough but the scenery and fun factors are second to none. The atmosphere at the clubhouse is great and the soup delicious. I am now so psyched for Comrades I could start running tomorrow. Without this run I would be buggered.
You people at FHAC are certainly doing something right. Or perhaps that should be "everything right".
Then, I would like to compliment you and Don individually for your fantastic contribution to running and more specifically to Comrades. If you only knew how many people you influence with your website and how many people use Don's program either as a basis to work from or as a training bible from which you NEVER deviate. Either way, it reaches thousands. Hats off to you two. You are icons in the running fraternity.
Kind Regards

On behalf of all the Edgemead Runners that run your training run thank you so much for a well organised run.
I can assure you it was enjoyed by all.
I did it for the first time and was so impressed by the water tables and the lake of nothing been spared.

Sorry I never got to meet you on Sunday. Just a big thank you to you and your team for such a fantastic run.

The seconding tables were awesome.
Thanks once again.

****************************************************************
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you and the volunteers at the water tables. This was my first time that I got to run 4 Hills For Lindsay and must admit it is better organized then most official events.
There came a point that I felt the knees giving in but the water table support was excellent, if it weren't for the few at the golf course water table I would have thrown in the towel. The words of encouragement I think was butternut soup.
I never got the chance to introduce myself or Lauren the morning or when we came in so that I guess will have to wait till next year.
As sore as one gets on this run, ringing the bell after lifts ones spirit.
Till next year.
Thanks
Eden

I would like to thank Nikki and all of you fantastic people at Fish Hoek Club for an awesome run on Sunday. I cannot praise you all enough for your support it was like you anticipated my needs through out. For example at 15K I was thinking mmmmm I’m getting hungry and there was food!! Then later I really fancied a marmite sandwich and there it was, then I even thought oh I could eat some chicken and THERE it was, and the SOUP at the end YUM, I could go on, but really Thank you all so much!!!
I look forward to it next year!!!! Have a great Comrades everyone and see you all there

A huge thank you to you and The Fish Hoek folk.
Sunday was another incredible and special day. Thank you to all the folk who kindly and willingly gave their time to be there to help and support us.

Well done Fish Hoek and thank you again Nikki.

A bit late but I'd like to add a hugely appreciative thank you to everyone who made the run possible - it was an absolute privilege to be able to take part, and although I have been 'on the road' for over 20 years, I was still amazingly impressed by the enthusiasm of your table teams.
I don't think any of those who ran take your efforts for granted, it keeps the true spirit of running alive and well!!
Kind regards,
Nicole

This is the first time I have been with you guys, on the 56km.

Not sure where to find the link to express my sincere gratitude to the whole of FHAC in fact almost the whole of Fish Hoek. With the amount of volunteers out there, a real family day out.
You all are outstanding and it is a true privilege to have been able to, once again, be apart of the "4 Hills for Lindsay" run.
You excel yourselves and I would give you a 6 star rating.

I would just like to add my thanks for what I can only describe as a wonderful event! To you and your entire team – you are the greatest. Sunday was my first time doing the 4 Hills for Lindsay and it will certainly not be my last. Each and every table was just amazing – I can’t believe that you have such wonderful and dedicated friends/club members – they are precious and deserve a big pat on the back.
I am now winding down on the road but staying fit and healthy and looking forward to the big day!
Best regards

I think everything has been said. Just a heartfelt word of thanks from us as well. See you next year!

I have never met any of you Fish-hoek club members, but I can say with all honesty, this was the best Run “race” I have ever run, No reel starting time, No reel cut-off time, no Marshalls, Lots of nice COLD water, Great Food, and friendly …help-full people at the tables.
Well Done….. This was the Best

Sorry Nikki, I was meaning to send you a mail….thank you for all your organization last Sunday….a brilliant job !!!! I unfortunately had a bit of a knee injury and decided not to finish the full 56 but nevertheless was thankful to have been able to start off with the guys…thanks also for all your helpers on the day.
Estelle Bosman
****************************************************************
I was one of 350 runners that was simply blown away by the way you and the rest of the FHAC gang organized the training run, it was an awesome day and definitely the best run (including the Two Oceans) I’ve ever enjoyed. I was one of the back runners and every refreshment table I passed was still stocked with everything mentioned by those in your ‘feedback report’ . So once again , thank you very much for a major confidence booster before we all tackle the Comrades.
Question - I’m concerned that I will miss out next year , may I at this early stage request to have my name on the participation list for 2011.
Thanking you
Maghdi Arnold (Maddie)
****************************************************************
I read all the comments that other runners posted on the website and to add to all that I and all my Edgemead fellow runners were extremely happy with the entire event right up to the 3 delicious soups that I gulped down afterwards!
The route and support crew was so awesome that I simply had to stop a few times to take a few paparazzi shots with my HTC Cell phone. Great opportunity to rest! Tee! Hee!
Thanks once again for your part in the organizing this lekka training remembrance run.
Roll on Comrades!
Cheers

Thanks very much for all the organisation & cheerful roadside assistants & awesome soup yesterday!
It was my first 4 Hills – quite an experience indeed.
Unfortunately it will also be my last – we are relocating the family to Ozzie-land later this year.
I will take fond memories of this experience with me.
Cheers

****************************************************************
FHAC - you did yourselves proud! Organisation and support for the long training run was fantastic – from start to finish. The generosity of all, especially those who gave so freely of their time to be at the refreshment stations along the road, is most appreciated. It allowed us, the runners, to do what we came to do – run; without concerns about anything else. We take a bow to honour each one of you!
To all fellow runners heading for Comrades – Have a good day on the road, and be sure to allow some time for a bit of fun.
