    I have been looking at my stats from my watch and would like to possibly increase speed and better my running style. Do any of you guys concentrate on your cadence and stride length? I battle to get my cadence over 165 and generally the faster I go the longer my stride. What should my stride length be based on my height of 1.86m?

    Thanks

    Does anyone know the total accent for the Cradle 21km tomorrow? I have checked on their website but it only has a route profile.

    I have bought a 910 and I have noticed that after pausing it during a workout after a certain amount of time a "Recovery Heart rate" notice pops up. Do any of you know what a good recovery heart rate should be after 2minutes?

    I am not sure if this has been discussed before, but are there any benefits of joining Triathlon SA? I am not trying to make any teams so am i correct that membership would not benefit me. I would also like to find out if a triathlon license applies to cycling and running or do you require different licenses for these separate disciplines as well?

    I see on the profile that the cycle starts at about 71m and climbs to 527m at the turn around point. What is the total accent for the route and how does the route compare in time with the 94.7? If i did a 3:30 for 94.7 what can I realistically expect at the 70.3?

    I had a big issue with all the guys drafting yesterday, i dont understand how people could blatantly cheat? Why not just do one loop on the cycle, that will help your time even more?

    I thought the race was pretty good. I have never been so hot in my life, although the ice cold sponges were great. My energy levels took a huge knock and i really battled on the run. All in all i had a good time and realised that i am hoplessly undertrained.
  9. Rolling Thunder
    So I take it that it will be slightly more difficult than the Joburg Tri?

    I have signed up to do the 11 Global triathlon at Sun City next month and need advice. What is the level of difficulty compared to the JHBCityTri olympic distance? I am not a good swimmer at all, I see that wetsuits are allowed unless the water temp is over 24.5. Would anyone not wear a wetsuit if they are allowed?

    I enjoyed the race, the turn around points on the bike were a little tight and I quiet enjoyed the fact that I could put my bike against a tree away from all the other clutter. This was my first triathlon, I take it that this is regarded as one of the easier ones?
  12. Rolling Thunder
    Thanks Gadget but there is a particular trisuit that I want to get from them. Still cant get hold of Fluidlines.
  13. Rolling Thunder
    Has anyone had any dealings with this company? I would like to contact them but there is no phone number and they are not replying to my emails.

    I just put it on my shoe.
  15. Rolling Thunder
    I have also entered the full event. Who has done this race and what advice do you have?
  16. Rolling Thunder
    is there anyway to find out what the quality is like before entering? Maybe chat to the South African Water Department?
  17. Rolling Thunder
    I am looking at doing the Joburg Triathlon on the 25th September. However I heard that the swim was cancelled last year due to water quality. Does anyone know if the water quality is better and what type of race is this?
  18. Rolling Thunder
    I apologise for my ignorance, but surely you cant work on time? I can do a 10km run in 50min or 70min, and I will benefit more with the faster time.
  19. Rolling Thunder
    The numbers are related to the distance that you will do in a half Ironman 21.1km and 90km / 1.9km gives you the figures. I have just started training for olympic distances and will be doing the half IM in January. At the moment i just want to finish the races.
  20. Rolling Thunder
    I have started putting in a fair amount of training and would like to ask the following: if i was equally as strong with each discipline, what ratios should i be training? Currently the ratio's in Ironman are 1(Swim):11(Run):47(Cycle) would it make sense to base your training on these numbers?

    Thanks for the info, i reckon the seller is not going to be chuffed with the fact that the price has dropped that much in a year. Is this happening alot across the board with regards to trying to sell fairly new bikes 2nd hand?
  22. Rolling Thunder
    I need a little bit of helpful assistance. First of all for a bike which is on the cheaper side, how does it compare with the other bikes in the same price range? The bike is a 2010 model, no components have been changed and it is a medium. I thought that my google skills were pretty good but i cant work out the size is in terms of centimeters? The bike has done about 500km's and the asking price is R8k. The little bit of research I have done makes me think that the asking price is a little high, what would a fair price be?
  23. Rolling Thunder
    What food can I eat which is both filling but not fattening? Winter has increased my appetite to the point where I am eating at least double the amount I normally consume.
  24. Rolling Thunder
    I understand the warning and I am sure that the people who ride there appreciate it. However people shouldnt include riding in the farm as the issue?
  25. Rolling Thunder
    It happened on the road close to a township, why is Northern Farms even mentioned? If there have been no incidents in the farm itself what is the problem?
