....and thats why I want them..... 😁😋😉

Hi all Anyone know where I can get a set of Spirgrips online in SA?

The bulk .... 95% before CP4. There will be the odd causeway to cross which should be dry thereafter or just a trickle...

2012 my first TB and in that my partner bailed at CP4 Bergplaas with respiratory issues and I decided to go it alone which was a painful exercise with a team that adopted me. It was a looooong night out! 2013 my second TB with my brother-inlaw who developed some serious gastro issues in the days leading up to the event and was courageous to still join me on the start line nevertheless. At CP3 the gastro issue which kept him 'busy' ultimately ended his race. I went on to finish another solo and thinking this was the last out of frustration. (But these solo finishes also planted the seed of other ultra distant events of which I have taken part in and succeeded - but of course they were solo events) Now 2019 after thinking my TB participation was jinxed all the years, I have decided to give it another go. With a month of flu behind me, I have made the recovery but will most certainly be riding and not racing, and maybe more or less playing tour guide to my rookie partner and when we get to the finish, my partner will be ecstatic for a finish and I'll be jumping up and down just because I have a partner who finishes with me!! - all going well! Good luck to all. See you on the other side

Well said Tubed. Yes! I noted that last 30 seconds of Tweet's interview on the first view, showed my wife with a lump in my throat. That's Freedom RASA right there! It's that hard but the experience is a powerful thing! I also thought I was missing something and coming back to this feed for feedback during RASA, it had seemed to have thinned in comparison with previous years. Yes. Change is inevitable and its happening all the time. I heard of the Whatsup group but assumed it was a personal thing set up but now I know for next time. I think Chris and Julia did an awesome job for 2019 off the back of the changes mentioned and changing of the guards. Looking forward to what lies ahead for this event and the Freedom Challenge family.

What are the stats looking like for MD vs his last record breaking attempt..... Still on track to break it possibly?

Definitely something amiss...... Distances are not right for those in the know, I'm sure.

Yes, if not more. It is 50+kays from Vuvu to Rhodes and another 60+kays from Rhodes to Chesneywold and MD is way past Chesney already...... going like a boeing!

Ol 'thunder bolt MD , looks like he just bled through Chesneywold in a blink at10.40am. What a machine! Just keeps going! A strong mind, a whole lotta courage and looks like stamina for days!! Doesn't get more hardcore than this!......

One of my favourite intermediate support stations! Who knows...if the universe transpires.... maybe next year.

Bummer!

Wondering whats up with Scott James tracker? Masakala at just before 9pm last night.... and no update thereafter. Has he moved on after Marty or just catching some extended shut eye with tracker off?

Geez! I'm not going to get much work done! And there is surely going to be an overdose of popcorn!

Are there any other time history flashpoints for Marty? Comparison of 2017 year to his current stint..... He's gone guns blazing from the start! Superman!...... the next 10 days are going to be blockbuster material!
