Ryan Sandes in Heat Magazine — Chicks losing their minds

We’ve spoken about Ryan Sandes here at SLXS before, back in August when he won the Hansa Hout Bay Challenge. We mentioned him again last Thursday the 15th of October, with a piece entitled “Hout Bay’s Ryan Sandes Completely Owning The Amazon Jungle Marathon”

Well he did own it! He won in a time of 26 hours and 33 minutes, taking the course record for the fastest time since the race began. By now you will have followed the links on SLXS to Ryan’s website, but just again, well done to Ryan for these particularly INSANE achievements!

I think I used to body board with this dude back in 97/98 at Llandudno!

And then you just continued to be normal and Ryan went off the hook mental! I honestly don't know how he does what he does. I once ran down Suikerbossie and into the dunes over into Llandudno/Sandy Bay and it felt like a lung had dropped. All of 2 or 3 km's later. Shattered.

I wouldn’t quite say normal and I’ve won my fair share of things

But yes, what he does is very impressive indeed – I walk from my computer to the kitchen and I feel as though a lung has dropped

Ja look I don't think you're doing too badly :) Oh and I won some AVG stuff on your site today, got the e-mail entry in after being evicted from Grandwest at 3am this morning for rowdiness, and we never even made it in. So shot for that, stoked! I'll try my best to get a virus now (Computer). Woooooo hooooo I love Fridays

Ah we left Tiger and were like "Mmmmmm...the night is but an infant...let's make money!" So we went there, but the girls were so rowdy, we parked and a security van pulled up behind us. Then we walked to the entrance and the van arrived again, two guys got out and said we were too rowdy to go in and security at the door stopped us. So then the one security guy walked us to the car while the van followed, then they escorted us out. Dammit I was going to card count and take Vegas!

Yeah stoked on the win, I'll test that anti-virus to the max for scientific reasons. I must do a write up on how I ended up winning it when the prize arrives. Sickie woo!

"TGIF FTW!"

Sooooooooooooooo true!
