    Have had a really good streaming experience thus far with the app. Baffles me that a relatively new comer to the world of live sports streaming can produce a user experience far superior to that of DSTV, who have been doing so (trying) for years. During Strade Bianche I only experienced one interruption, which was actually mentioned by the commentators, and thus was a feed issue and not an app issue. DSTV streams often drop and then when relaunching, usually end up a few minutes delayed from the actual live feed.

    I see that the Strava connection was disconnected, reconnected now and it's pulling in the old data. Thanks.

    Hi David, Thanks again for a great tool! I recently updated my account to have a username and password (instead of the previous auto login from Strava). It still imports data from strava, but all my history is now gone?

    I think you can correct it by editing your original post, it should then open up the thread title for editing.

    I don't see any updates about the girls volleyball team though?

    TSS should also not be looked at as absolute and in isolation, but rather in relation to ones fitness score or CTL (average daily TSS over 42 days). It's ones Form (difference between fitness and fatigue) which should be looked at to gauge overtraining. A Pro or highly trained amateur can easily hit a weekly 1500 TSS without overtraining, but their fitness is likely around 150-180 CTL. When someone with a 80 fitness score tries the same thing, the impact on the body will likely differ greatly.

    Sounds Phishy... Log into the your SARS account (not via any links in the email), but directly on sarsefiling.co.za, and get your correspondence there. Any official communication from SARS will be saved on your profile. SARS unfortunately does actually send emails with attachments, but always best to get them from your online profile instead. Never click a link directly from an email when it comes to finance related topics (Tax, banking etc.). EDIT. I have also been receiving emails like this but they have all been promptly deleted. (no new correspondence on my online profile)

    You will also save some time on the long downhill after that if you descend in daylight, can be quite daunting with just a light in darkness, complete different experience during the day.

    Anybody else doing UTCT? I'm also in for the little 25km.

    Hi, I still seem to have the issue of not receiving notifications on the classifieds site. I have tried clearing cache and relogging in, but the notification icon still has the loading graphic continuously. I am running windows 10 with Google Chrome 87.0.4280.66

    She's the one who probably had to deal with him living in regret for not pushing on. It may have been a good decision to pull out last year, but that feeling of regret will always linger, wondering if he really needed to pull out. I'm sure she didn't want to have to deal with that for another year

    Is it confirmed that TOGH is no longer? And this is the new pre CTCT tour?

    I use a Cateye volt, and purchased something similar to this item which works great: https://www.amazon.com/Best-Tek-Headlight-Computer-Rechargeable/dp/B07KMQX5PN

    Any clearer indication yet of when the 12 will be available in SA?

    I have flown with SaFair multiple times with a bike in a retail cardboard bike box, and have never been refused check in.

    They still use the lightning port. The cable you get is lightning to USB-C.

    Seeing as there are a few ultra athletes on here. I'd like to get some thoughts and tricks on what you guys use for nutrition on the trails, specifically with reuse in mind, i.e. no plastic wrappers and such. I've experimented with some rice cakes before, and that will continue to be my go to for longer runs. I am keen to try some mash potato recipes, but the challenge with this is that it may not pack too easily into a foil wrap. I see lots of peeps use ziplocks and just bite off a corner and off they go, but that doesn't fit with the reuse plan. I have seen some reusable food pouches for baby food, which seem to be what I'm looking for, but they are all a bit too small (intended for baby's of course), but can't seem to find any of these which would carry enough. My next thought is perhaps buying another soft flask (the salomon one with bigger opening), and using that (exclusively for food), but that would come with some admin to fill as well as clean. Any thoughts or ideas?

    I see the price on the UK site is 800 pounds, so this is hardly an SA exclusive problem it seems. It's the US, and then everyone else.

    What would stop one from importing one directly from the US? And what would the all in fee's comprise of?

    I ran in the TSSL Paul Cluver race on Sunday, where they had staggered starts throughout the day, from 6am to 12pm. You choose a 1 hour slot to arrive in before the race, then after arriving and having your temperature taken, you start the race at the next 15 minute start time. This seemed to work pretty well and I quite preferred it, very little traffic on the course, no queues for coffee or toilets at the start/finish. I would imagine your race would follow a similar setup.

    Great response and I really appreciate the insights, it helps a lot. The job is with one of the big 4, and I have a figure in mind which I believe is fair, although well below the 1.5X amount. I think I will stick with that, however see if I can get commitment for a review 3-6 months after arrival.

    Thanks for all the responses! My question is really geared towards what I should be asking for as a salary for a like for like switch between the 2 countries, trying to equip myself to ensure I don't sell myself short. Although I would take a cut (relative) if it meant I could secure the move sooner rather than later. I am a senior in the IT systems engineering space, and my current expectation was an increase of 20%, but based on above perhaps it should be more. I understand that there are many factors to consider, however at the end of the day my motivation for the question was to set myself a target for negotiations.

    While we're doing some comparisons between income and spending between SA and NZ, how would you guys see salaries compared like for like between the country's. I saw above mention of R750k would roughly translate to R1.2M ($110k) in NZ. Not sure if this was just used for the purposes of the example, but what are your guys thoughts on this? I'm sure it would differ from industry to industry.

    I find it a bit of a pain really, normally I just screenshot my phone and then crop out the "borders" so that only the image remains. Only other way I am aware of is to share the actual instagram post as a link.

    Nino apparently took a big fall on the tar which the camera's didn't seem to catch, at least I haven't seen any footage. Struggled to find his rhythm after that. Hopefully he finds his legs for the XCO.
