Suikerbos - 11km Hike
Time | 03:00:21
On 16 July 2022, we journeyed bright and early to suikerbos nature reserve. This area is a cycling and hiking attraction known for its mountains and valleys, a.k.a high elevation. Some had the guts to cycle 60km and others endeavoured to do the 11km hike. There were many ups and downs not just physically but mentally. Conditioning your body is about a lot more than your physical abilities. Many times you will find you are actually physically capable of doing something but you have made barriers in your mind. This is what this trip was about, and what any endurance sport is about. It is to stretch your mind and break barriers physically and mentally. I have found over these past six months that the only way to do so is through tapping into the spirit life. When I am weak God shows Himself strong in my weakness. That’s the only way we do this! Overall this day was a challenge for me which means I grew. I enjoyed the day and I am very grateful for these types of challenges because they prepare me in far less serious ways so that I may know how to face life’s challenges in the future.
