  1. While I do agree on the common sense point, I disagree up to a point on Trailforks. Tokai and Winelands are the only real TF areas that I found to be updated. For the platteland and a lot of other trail centers it’s useless*. Thus I haven’t used TF in years. *Anecdotal three year old evidence of One…
  2. A full minute? sak sarel.
  3. It's a costly sport for socialites, aimed at people with money, who need others to know (think) that they have money. I bet the 15k helmet has a SOLID margin built in and there is a demand inflated element to that price. My guess is the importers of those helmets are not driving Polos. Even if it would have been fitting.
  4. Honest opinion: I’m glad your partner pulled out when he did. Kudos to you for not pressuring him to go on. May I suggest Hyrox or F45 (aka CrossFit lite) rather. hat, coat, DOOR!
  5. Maximizing Shareholder Value 101 Having recently been involved in a (fortunately successful, but still dramatic) Search and Rescue, let me tell you that dealing with the aftermath takes a while. And we were successful…
  6. None. But no news is good news. Today I spoke with a dr who worked at the CE medic tent in Fairview Race village. She says it was a rough day. They had three critical cases that went to Hospital. No fatalities. conflicting stories. I hope hers is true.
  7. I got rained on while running along the course earlier. It will definitely be a mud fest on the route.
  8. Imbuko Chemchamp is mixing it up in front again. can anyone recall what the highest an SA team was on GC? IIRC the Chem Brothers duo was 2nd the last year they raced together? But my memory from that era is clouded by disappointment.
  9. I got 7.5 hrs out of my vivoactive4 last year at a race. I think I put it on smart battery mode. Wasn’t moving fast enough to care about highest accuracy.
  10. I’m not in the habit of asking for our conversations in writing. I will gladly be proved wrong on this, this is people’s lives we are speculating about. But I trust him more than I trust the epic media releases.
  11. Maybe you need to do what I did, and chat to a Dr working at Paarl hospital? You are after all a journalist?
  12. Agreed. Getting 5tons of water to the water points really isn’t that hard. Not even to KrismasKamp. Add another 5tonner for safe margin. The top of Groenlandberg is a different story, but then you put a WP at the bottom and a cache of water as high up as you can.
  13. 5 days of racing and there is 30 seconds in it between 1 and 2. love it!!
  14. She retired from racing, pursued her profess career and started her family. Yet the first place your mind goes is there? do you mind excusing yourself for a while?
  15. On a less somber note: Annika Langvad is smashing it, all while being a new mom. My respect for her just reached epic proportions. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DHWTMl8uiDw/?igsh=YWM3dW0zcWQ3ZWh1
