Annual thread of how to find (and / or avoid!) me at #ICA26 🙃:

It’s a wrap Last #ica26 #RunningWithPresidents was a gem. No ☀️ but plenty of #CapeTown beauty, new participants and extended 8k edition. Thanks to all who joined one or more mornings. Special shoutout to @dscheykopp.bsky.social for route plotting and 5 morning #streak 💪🏽 🏃🏼 ❤️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Day 4 of #ica26, day 4 of #RunningWithPresidents, missing @claesdevreese.bsky.social Beautiful sunrise and chill run with friendly people 🏃🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️. Join us for last edition tomorrow, 730 ifo The Cullinan - this time longer stretch down to Green Point and park (around 8k)

Excited do present a "twofer" tomorrow! 🐫
