  4. Hi Get a coach. It helped me to improve my IM cycling average from 27Km/H to over 30Km/H..... but then I hit the wall on the run...... :P !!!
  5. Go Natural.... Natural = LESS injuries and WAY MORE FUN!!!! Just take it easy in the beginning. INOV-8!!!!!! I have the INOV-8 Flite 195 and I use them on and off-road. They are AWESOME!!!

  7. Hi Injured my right knee in friendly touch-rugby game 2 months before IronMan and could only cycle and swim for a few weeks but when my right knee felt good, I started running again amd I went too far too soon and had the worst pain on the bottom of my knee cap on my "LEFT" knee. I went and saw a Sports Doc and Physio and they both said I had "Patella femoral syndrome" due too over-compensation for my "injured right knee" which was now fine. I iced it after every run and then finally for IronMan, the Sports Doc taped it up and I didn't feel anything during IM. I hurt a lot the next day...... I took a break from running since IM and have done very little cycling. Started running about 2 weeks ago (nothing longer than 10K) and knee is 100% The Doc, Physio and other medical articles I got online all say the same thing: RICE: Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation. Aparently in most cases the knee will heal after proper rest.... Mine did!!!
  8. Hi I have had all 3 brands (Polar, Garmin and Suunto) and the Polar and Garmin worked great but my SUUNTO is absolutely AMAZING!!!! I have the SUUNTO t6D and use it with the optional extra PODS (footpod, bikepod) for triathlons, MTB, trail-running etc... and it is rock solid and very accurate!!! The training software (MOVESCOUNT)is awesome and displays everything you need and want to know in Graphs. The SUUNTO just looks "cooler" than most other watches.... The SUUNTO t6D is a bit expensive compared to some other HRMs but personally I think it is the best out of the whole lot!!!! MY 2cents.......

  15. Hi I know a few years back it was possible to do a second "run" of the Argus. I start just after six. Would it be possible to do the route again once I am finished? I am training for IronMan and to do another 110Ks after I have raced would be VERY hard but a good LOOONNNGG training day.
  16. 1.85m 90Kgs (Just looked at most guys' weight.... No wonder I get dropped on the climbs) MTB: Large Giant XTC 29er Road: M/L Giant TCR Advanced
  17. Hi Ordered Kit from them for DC last year. Arrived too late for the DC but when it came I was pleasantly surprised. Quality of jerseys were very decent. After a few washes all still seems fine...
  18. Hi Some pics of my mother-in-law's old unicoi.... She still rides it and it is still in a good condition...
  19. Let me put it this way.... I am really happy that the marathon is after the 180K bike because if it was the other way around I don't know if I would be able to cycle 180Ks after a marathon at pace. i think running is a lot harder....
