  1. Looking for a lift to start (Windmill) of Berg & Bush on Friday morning from race village for myself and partner (our bikes already at start). C-Batch. Will contribute to half of shuttle service fee. Thx!
  2. I’m new to Triathlon’s and did my 2nd Triathlon ever this weekend at Buffelspoort (5150) which went ok (did Buffelspoort Xterra 4 years ago). Legs were quite tired at the end though!! I was crazy enough to enter for the Full IM in PE next and would like to get some advice on training programs. I did Epic in 2016 and Comrades this year and usually took a recovery week after 3 weeks of training. Has anyone or planning to use Coach Parry’s Full Ironman Program which you can download for free? It is a 12 week program but I don’t really see recovery weeks? I was thinking of changing the 12 weeks to a 15/16 week program by building in a recovery week in after every 3 weeks of training. Any thoughts or advice. Anyone used this program in the past and how did it go? Thanks in advance.
  3. I'm planning to run my COM qualifier at the end of January and considering Johnsons or Akasia. Who has run both and which if the 2 would be the easier? Thx in advance!
  4. Some advice from the old hands please? Next year will be my 1st Comrades. Listening to some of "Coach Parry's" podcasts, he recommends nothing more than 2 ultra's and 1 marathon or 2 marathon's and 1 ultra from January, given that the last one is 6 weeks before COM and the other spaced 4 weeks apart. Coming from a cycling background and aerobically quite fit (finished Epic in March). I'm new to running and only started running 3 months ago. I'm currently running half marathons easily around 2 hours. Hoping to run bronze. My game plan is as follow and would like know if you guys agree? 1) Johnsons Crane qualifier end January. 2) Om die Dam Ultra mid March 3) Loskop Ultra mid April (Then still doing a rustige Sani2C with my wife 11-13 May) Thanks in advance!

  8. Waited for that one! Shimano's internal chain-never need to clean and only lube once a year. De-railers fitted to have something to attach lose ends of shifter cables.
  9. Done and Dusted!!
  10. Will still come and ride at your place. (Was your neighbour on the trail at Sani2c)
  11. Rides from Hazeldean on Saturday mornings is well established and cater for all needs. What about group rides starting at Rafters Pub out on Garsfontein Road for those staying some distance from Hazeldean?? Any takers or suggestions? Rafters offers safe parking and various routes and distances can be done.
  12. Sorry 11/36 casesette.
  13. Thanks Ryan! Will be running 38T large chainring with the 12/36 cassette. Will medium cage still do or should i go for long cage?
