I also asked ASG if they could come up with another one of their stupendous auctions which must include a watch so lets see.

What if I want to go train in a cave or a deserted mine?

Someone swam into the Garfs line of sight and naturally I "clawed" him (aka as "konynkap" in afrikaans). Upon contact the band broke and despit making 2 dives down after it, it could not be saved. Thanks Dave. Can you imagine how fast I will be with even better technology? In the end for me, the HR is the most NB. The polar I had the CS300 would miss beats or stop alltoghether for a minute despite battery changes and ervices at the polar store. I want a HR monitor that is 100% accurate.

Or garmin!

Thanks Thats exactly my budget!!

Thanks Dave!

I need a new watch for Triathlon. I have a good enough speedo on my bike. So I need a very accurate Heart Rate montior with perhaps an altimeter. Suunto or Polar?

Why dont you come with for Jailbreak?

So should I cycle with a ski mask?

Cool thx! Will definately look into that. Ja I am eying that long race! Maybe if I borrow one of those choc cow suits + wrap 2 blanket on top of that I can simulate Abu Dhabi desert?

I am looking for a long raced to fine tune for Abu Dhabi Tri. So if the wind blows and it is hot it is perfect. I see they have a 133km bike leg this year. Could be good! If I can fond 4 other guys we will def drive down and obviously make it a long weekend! Already asked my Joburg training group. Otherwise I might just fly down with Mango and rent a car or something...... I just realised that racing is fun and we need to do that more. its crazy to put all these countless hours in just for one event and then you could get sick or have a mechanical.

Honestly for me it was easier but I was fitter. Other okes say it was harder but obviously they were fitter at EL. Tough time of the year to hold a 70.3 I guess. But if I had to say I would think the run course was harder. Up and down the wole time unlik EL when there is only Bunkers. The Bike has to be easier despite the irritating cross wind. EL has more wind and more climbs as simple as that. I would like to think that my time here would equate to just under 6 hours in EL but thats just me. What does the other guys think? Common give us some Garmin stats. Total ascending vs EL etc

JGR I am on kind of a roll. Need races however. Have you ever done the "Jailbreak"? Need to consider that for December to keep me going!

Hi JGR 05h39. Finally after 10 x 70.3's I finally broke 6 hours!! Was a fast course but a lot longer than the previous Midlands course. Had the best day of my racing career by far. Now to repeat everything I did for the last week before every race! How did Seeker go?

I guess timewise the extra run canceled out the maringally shorter bike. If anyone finds a polar watch 15m deep in the dam, it is mine!

Oh and the Garf did it again. After racking up a few more "HUB" scalps the other day at Bela Bela (DaveM ) , he also won the prize trophy of the BradWentzel.

What an awesome race. Perfect organising, perfect weather and a perfect experience overal!! Well done organisers. Also well done to all who took part. Did any racers measure the course with their GPS watches? Was it a true 70.3? I hope so as I did a PB time!!

Hahaha thx Dave Be jealous. Nothing like racing this time of the season!!

This may also depend on if the refs hear you calling me and see an oppertunity to actually see who I am

Seeker Please write your number on your forehead so I can say hi before the swim start. I will be the one wearing a wetsuit, just look out for me. Or shout really loud Garfield and I will respond depending how professional and cool you look and if I wanna be associated with you....

No. I am doing Abu Dhabi and PE. No time to play with the children in between....

Dear Admin Will you please change Dave's status from Champion Hubber to Garfs Biaatch.... cause thats what I made him at Bela Bela (despite a 3 minute TT penalty for blocking)

What!? You bastard! Agent! Dont bring your IM - tendancies here. Get out!!

Bwahahaahahaha!!
