Marias, Weber claim victory at inaugural Sanlam Cape Mile

Just over 1000 eager swimmers gathered at the water’s edge of the Eikenhof Dam (Grabouw Country Club, Western Cape) on Saturday, 14 February 2015 to be part of the action at the inaugural Sanlam Cape Mile.

Competition was rife in the elite men’s race with Danie Marais, Myles Brown and Chad Ho swimming neck on neck for the duration of the event.  The deciding factor would be an exciting sprint to the finish, with Marais clinching victory mere seconds ahead of Brown.

“I felt good in the water, focused and ready to race,” said Marais.  “Staying with Chad and Myles, I focused on my own race.  When there was approximately 400m to 500m left I decided to give my all.  I am very happy with my win.  Although I train in Durban, I am originally from Clifton, so claiming a win in Cape Town is really nice”.  Marais claimed victory in a lightning fast time of 17 minutes 41 seconds.  Myles Brown came in second, while Chad Ho finished third.

Elite swimmer Michelle Weber set the pace in the women’s race completing the Sanlam Cape Mile in an awe-inspiring time of 18 minutes 48 seconds.  According to Weber she was surprised to hear that this was the inaugural event.

“There was so much hype building up to the Sanlam Cape Mile that I actually thought that the event has been taking place for quite some time already.  My strategy was to go all out from the start and keep my pace, start hard, finish hard.  The venue is beautiful and I love the dark water of the Eikenhof Dam.  I am stoked with my win and will definitely come back next year.  Cape Town is just so beautiful, I love it”.  Carmen Le Roux came in second, while Clarice Le Roux finished third.
