The former record holder, South Africa&#8217;s Hansie Joubert came second, finishing one hour 10 minutes behind Coetzee.<\/p>\n<p>The race started and finished at the Cradle of Humankind just outside Johannesburg, heading north-west to Magaliesberg and Rustenburg, before swinging west and then south towards Swartruggens and Groot Marico.<\/p>\n<p>Coetzee yesterday said the conditions were quite tough.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe race started at noon last Friday and it was very hot at the beginning and hardly cooled down. Besides that we had to ride into a strong head wind for about 180km before it later changed to a cross-wind,\u201d Coetzee said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had to ride on corrugated and sandy roads and my shock shifter broke en route to the event so I had to ride the whole way without suspension and it was very demanding on my body,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Besides that there were also some navigational problems as Coetzee got lost at a stage and was passed by Joubert. Coetzee had to ride an extra 6km before finding his way back, during which time Joubert took over the lead.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was leading from the beginning, but I got lost at a stage &#8211; the race was totally self-navigated, so there were no marshalls and I had to ride an extra 6km before I found my way back,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI knew the first water point after 270km was a critical stage of the race so I didn&#8217;t stop, I just grabbed some water bottles and continued pushing on. Hansie was still leading, but I started to chase him down and caught up soon after. We rode about 40km together through a rocky section on the course, but after about 320km I managed to break away on a big climb,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Coetzee pulled away and went on to complete an emphatic victory over the pre-race favourite Joubert, while his new record time was an added bonus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wanted to win the race, but I never thought about breaking the record, so that came as a nice surprise and was just a bonus. Hansie is a legend in endurance riding in South Africa, he has won many titles including the Big Munga over 1050km, so I was very happy that I beat him. He&#8217;s a really nice guy, and congratulated me on my win, but I&#8217;m sure we will have some big battles ahead,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Coetzee&#8217;s victory was just the latest accolade in a year of some brilliant achievements.<\/p>\n<p>In February he won the Namibian Road Race title for the second year in a row, before he shifted his focus to the endurance events.<\/p>\n<p>In April he won the Munga Grit Tankwa in the vicinity of Ceres in the Cape Province in a new record time, while he won the 361km MTB Challenge in Oudsthoorn in another new record time the following month.<\/p>\n<p>In August he won the mixed category of the Trans-Baviaans MTB Race over 230km along with South Africa&#8217;s Yolande de Villers, while they finished second overall, thereby securing the highest place for a mixed team in the history of the race.<\/p>\n<p>On 24 September, a week before the Munga Grit, Coetzee won the Mabaruli-Solitaire MTB Challenge over 267km from Windhoek to Namib Desert Lodge, before continuing to rewrite the record books in South Africa the following week.<\/p>\n<p>As if that&#8217;s not enough, Coetzee, is now preparing for the Paratus Namibian Cycle Classic this coming weekend and is aiming to win the elite men&#8217;s race over 100km.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI won the Cycle Classic a few years ago and came second behind Hugo Hahn last year after just losing out in the sprint to the line, so I&#8217;m quite keen to reclaim that title,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Coetzee thanked his various sponsors for their support.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHollard Namibia made this trip possible, but I&#8217;d like to thank all my other sponsors namely the Janine and Suzelle Davin Sport Trust Fund, Indongo Toyota, Deopharma Namibia and BRG Biokinetics,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Coetzee completed the ultra-marathon over 514km in a time of 21 hours 47 minutes, which broke the previous record by just over an hour.
