Best you start paddling then.

Have a look on FitTrack.co.za, training plans specific for multi stage racing.

I've got both the 808x and 870 (got both from CycleLab's online shop). Did a quick comparison last night. The 870 on full brightness (has 4 levels) is definitely brighter than the 808. It is also easier to adjust brightness with an up or down option. No more strobe option, which seemed silly anyway. The lighting is also better distributed. The 808 has a defined focal point, whereas the 870 is much more consistent in "spreading" the light. I assume this is due to it having multiple LED's. Not sure about battery life. Will be testing it out tonight. Apparently battery life is the same. Btw, it is the same battery for both. Both are excellent lights, with the 870 just being the next step up.

So what is the plan for tonight? Distance, duration? Is it always one group or does it split into a "faster" and more "social" group?

Why not setup a fan page rather?

Who told you manufacturers don't make 58cm? Cervelo does. Think they even make a 60/61cm. Your height is only one element to take into account. Reach is quite important. Check www.slowtwitch.com. There are some great articles and tools to find the right TT bike size.

How do you tell the difference between 808E and 808X?

We'll be joining you nutters this week. What time do you finish (the ride)? Anyone know the route for the Mild2Wild? Training file/map would be great.

What has the cost of your bike got to do with Freerk's furniture? His dislike of cyclists could have something to do with this type of attitude and having to scrub grease of his furniture.

There is also now the option to create a challenge and invite training buddies to it. Maybe create one for the hub and post its name here so others can join!

Cannot find it under events or photos. Maybe post a valid link to the site.

Great to hear you finding it useful. Remember, we have full backup/support. So if you have any questions, don't hesitate to send us your query. We've also just launched plans for Subaru Sani2C, Two Oceans Ultra/Half and Comrades. Should have a host more event specific plans up soon.

Riding with vets is the best thing for elite ladies. Get them stronger for international comps. @darkhorse, dono where you were in 2010, but I can count 15+ that made the podium in the last 12 months.

If you have to guesstimate a max hr, there is another formula... MaxHR = 208 - Age * 0.7

405 battery is a shocker. If you train every day, get ready to charge it every day.

Be sure to not just try and swim distance. Get a swimming coach to look at your stroke (once a month is enough) and give you some drills to correct. It is really worth it and will help your swimming more than any distance training. Swimming should not be hard work, leave that for the bike and run

You'll be slower as there are no walls to kick off from (and no line to follow). I loose 5sec+ per 100m going from 25m pool to open water.

The pool clock is very useful. Swimming speed is often measured in min/100m. This clock can help you monitor your pace so you don't swim too fast or slow. It can also be used to get your rest intervals right.

You go by time or put a Garmin under a second swim cap.

Interesting. Good to see some competing products entering the market. That said, would not buy a 1 gen product, there are bound to be plenty issues. Lets see what the user reviews are like.

Can you mount your Nokia on your handlebar? Can you analyse the hr data? What is the battery life like? Does the hr pickup when carrying phone in back pocket? Also played with the Nokia and these were some of the short comings I found. On a basic level, it is a great product. But its SportsTracker has been in Beta for how many years? This seems more like a excuse not to provide proper support which when I needed it was non existent. Btw, if you looking for a compatible HR strap, I'll sell you mine.

For those that dont know, hubbers can be quite rude when someone tries to share something interesting.

Die smartgevoel en glorification storie raak bietjie oud. Los die mense dat hulle mekaar help soos hulle goed dink. Soos die ou se, elke klein bietjie help.

How is this even relevant? Troll...
