    Aaah... My swimming has been almost non existant due to a niggle, and December took its toll, two weeks to feel a bit fitter and then to go smash it. More of a training race to see where I'm at for full Ironman, but this will mark 1 year exactly since my first 70.3, so a year of formal coach based training, so will be interesting to see the results

    Seems I was part of the clan that dropped off towards the end of 2019.... Kept my weight in check, on a good day I'm the same as I was a year ago... Now the key is to man up and eat right, that's where I fell off the wagon. Too much nougat and chocolate, as one can never have too much beer, so it definitely wasn't that [emoji1787] So here goes.... 86 at the moment, goal is 82 in May for my Ironman, and then will see if 82 is a good weight for me or if I should try drop to 80 by the end of the year.

    I need to get passed EL first, and the holiday season has not been kind to me[emoji1787]

    People were wondering if numbers were down and possible reasons why. That's my reason.

    For me, it's an expensive venture to head up to jhb for a ride that's not even 100km, and no offense to the jhb guys, but it's riding through jhb. I'd rather spend my money on a race where I'm riding somewhere new/scenic/ not through a city.

    Is it all your toenails or only certain ones? All toes versus only big toe/only little toe can give some insight Also Probably not, but have you considered it may be your cycling shoes and not your running shoes?

    Sorry, my bad, frodeno is an ASICS man.... Thought he was an Adidas man. New prototypes he wore for kona
  8. Roguemeister
    Adidas have carbon plated shoes now too [emoji2273]

    There's some funny way they back date the tests to the beginning of the quarter if you miss them, same happened to Christian Coleman before doha. Missed 3 tests but because of backdating they didn't all fall in the time period that would have resulted in a ban.

    Apparently the amount of people wearing them at Kona and walking was insane

    Their rules are just so wishy washy. By their ruling on shoes then even spiked shoes on tracks could be argued as illegal, as they give someone an advantage over someone not wearing spikes

    You saw right, trifactri suit it is! My honest opinion is if all you wanna do is finish, if you're happy with with a 7 or 8 hour 70.3, then joining a group won't really benefit you as much. But if you're trying to get better and do as well as you possibly can, then i think a coach /group is essential. It's a bit different for me, as I'm not in jhb, so I don't join up with the team that much for long rides and runs, but when I have its been much better than training by myself. What I can say with 100 % certainty is I wouldn't be where I am without my coach and I wouldn't enjoy the races nearly half as much without being part of a team.

    The biggest thing I find that helps is swimming with other people. It's been a long time since I've had the motivation to bang out 4km swims by myself, but if I find someone else to do it with me, then I find it very manageable. It's funny also, cause I find it much more enjoyable doing longer sets, for example 8 x 400 I'll take every time over 16 x 200. So just finding the sets that work for you will make life better. That might be fewer longer sets or more shorter sets. Just switch it up to what you're currently doing.

    I've tried both maurten and tail wind. I prefer the maurten drink, purely because the taste of tailwind doesn't do it for me after a while and it's warm and meh. That said I still use tailwind on trail runs. More so because I still have it in the cupboard. I'm not a fan of the maurten gels as I find you have to actually chew them, and I struggle to chew and breath at the same time while running. So I've been using the Maurten drink and other gels when needed.

    I've got a 100mm on, started out with a 90 but swapped it out to try a 100 and it's much of a muchness
  16. Roguemeister
    Not doing it, but I'm in Pmb and haven't heard anything like that from anyone I know doing it

    When I looked Into it, you added on 30% (15% duty and %15% vat or something like that) to the quoted price, and then add shipping. But I never bought one so cannot confirm the actual numbers
  18. Roguemeister
    Yes I found it to work great, after I had pulled all the cables out [emoji1787]
  19. Roguemeister
    Don't pull out all the cables on your internally cabled bike without threading something through with it so you don't spend 5 hours fishing for cables, no amount of beer makes that a fun job

    And I've got one for sale in the classifieds [emoji6]

    I have a friend that has done Bahrain and Dubai and he says Bahrain is hands down the better race! Just a much better experience overall.
  23. Roguemeister
    I've been toying with that idea, or maybe Bahrain in December, but it'll still be cheaper to do EL, that's what's keeping me leaning towards slummies
  24. Roguemeister
    Starting this up again, 6 months to go... Training starting to ramp up a bit. .. I've put my fan on full blast to simulate race conditions!

    Did you come right with a flat mount brake caliper? I've got one lying around, as I went the other way (had two flat mounts and needed a post mount)
