  5. to put it all simple: 1.Better stiffer wheels means that you have no flex, when you point at an obstacle and go over it to land where you where you pointed. 2.You loose no power in the wheel. I cracked my ZTR the other day (my fault) and while waiting for my new ZTR to be build put the original wheels that the scott came with, I could physically feel the energy being transferred into the wheel due to flex.
  6. I know that Club100 leave from Paulshof Mug&Bean every most Sunday at 06:00 for rides of about 60km at a pace of about 16-18km .... maybe join them.

    2012 Ironman

    With the worst weather at any Ironman in PE - I finished! The day started with rain, 1st lap of swim was ok with sea relatively calm but by 2nd lap the gale force wind had come creating swells & choppy sea, I must have swallowed at least a litre of water & 2 times I took whole mouth fulls, needless to say I was nausious & almost threw up, The bike, well gale force head winds and almost got blown off bike about 12 times - it was insane, the run - well the wind remained and at about 3 times it rained hard, I have never been so cold dispite having 3 layers on - at end I was mildly hypothermic - but I made it - I am a real IRONMAN who cut his teeth on the worst one they have had to date - even the pros say that - wow what a feeling - knees r soar but everything else is ok. Apparently there where gusts of 80km measured on day
  23. I also noticed that the cycle was 80km and when I was coming in on the run people were being pulled off the route as apparently there was a cut off of 13:30 - which I do not remember seeing anywhere - so thought it was bad to be pulling people when there was no cut off advertised (that I remember - but could be wrong)
  24. Contact Claire Honer from www.mytrainingday.com for open water swimming in CTN. I know they use a dam somewhere - alsothe Big Bay Lifesaving club has a swim every Thursday at 16:00 at Big Bay (it might be Wednesday been a while since I have been in CTN to swim)
