  1. Ah, cool
  2. I know it's late, but has anyone got an entry looking for a home?
  3. Where do the answers go?
  4. Discovery Insure was 70% more expensive than my current cover. I was prepared to go a little higher for the rewards etc., but at that increase, even if I was at the max fuel rewards in both ZAR and % terms, I'd still be facing a 40% increase. Just crazy...
  5. My issue is that I'm on with some work colleagues, it's political and they're all getting lazy.
  6. I hear ya, I used to grab smoothies fromBoth myself and my wife's account. I just needed one mate to get four. Now my mrs and my mate are goofing off. I've gone from 4 to 1...
  7. Sometimes it feels like we're getting penalised for becoming fitter. Whilst I'm all for progress, I did a 2hrs swim on Sunday at a fairly lethargic 67% HR and only gathered up 100 points, based on speed. I'm wondering why we would not be rewarded for a slightly longer workout in lieu of the additional exertion. I would suggest that provided it's above a certain level of exertion, we should start gathering points for longer workouts? The fact that I was not putting in much effort in this case was besides the point, I would just have liked to get maybe 200 points for the time spent "trying". For all they know it could have been base training... Thoughts?
  8. From what I gather, it's only certain events that are subsidised
  9. Not yet, I've joined Team Vitality, what else needs to be done?
  10. I swear by wearing a lid, more especially since I ran out of skill on a jump at around 40km/h some years back. My trusty Bell split in two with severe bruising on back and shoulders, and a suspected concussion to boot. Doc was of the opinion that a helmet may have saved my life or at the very least, some brain damage. Those accidents are accurate, especially considering the small target my wife thinks the accident had to damage in the first places...
  11. Darwin has decided that 2017 is the year.
  12. I have a fēnix 3 Titanium and for the first time since the 910XT, I don't feel the need to rush out and upgrade. I am particularly grateful for this given that I don't have the cash to do so, coincidentally, also for the first time since the 910XT
  13. https://www.facebook.com/viralvideos.a/videos/379109832437361/ I'm not sure how to embed this video here, but it's farking funny...
  14. Shite that's scary, I'd change my plans if I were you. That thing looks close to 3m...
  15. HRM-SWIM paired to the Garmin fēnix 3. Polar does have a device that can read live HR in the water though. I used to have the RCX5 which would register live HR in the water.
  16. Did you register the event or just rely on your device upload? You'll get more for the event, strange but true!
  17. One would think that their system has some level of intelligence. I completed two 28(or so) minute swims today with HR averaging around 70 for both, separated for reasons unimportant to this post. The second swim was started around a minute after the first and yet because they each came in under 30 mins, I got zero points. I didn't even leave the pool between workouts, so the timing should have some sort of Not sure why their system is unable to figure this out, but I have contacted them and will revert with their response.
  18. I know, I had to say it though, couldn't help myself...
  19. Love how her ass wobbles a bit when the guy lands...
  20. I really wish I could surf, it looks like one of the most enjoyable activities there is to be able to do. I constantly watch surfers plying their trade/hobby and find myself filled with no small amount of envy.
  21. I'm on my third, one was faulty and one was lost and replaced. I got the reverting to miles thing on my second or third unit and it kept happening. Nothing had been changed on my GC or the phone, can't remember how I fixed it though.
  22. I recently got into The Big Bang Theory, watching reruns on DSTV having never watched before. As a result, on Friday I joined Showmax and have managed to get through season 1 & 2 since then. Loving it.
  23. I'm against violence as much as the next guy, but to be honest, if Wonder Woman felt that the only way to deal with me was by using a firm hand, I would be left with little other choice but to take my punishment like a man
  24. What a day, my birthday and we're moving house in 10 days. Really happy to receive a pink slip for this one as my alternative was packing boxes. Make my way to Dainfern Shops and have some brekkie at the Mugg & Bean. Ride to the start, riding for NSPCA so stop by the tent for some pics. Amble off to the start and wait, gathering up the atmosphere, two mates have dumped me for my birthday ride so I'm solo. Get to the start and meet a pretty and friendly lady called Annie. She seems legit so I'm thinking I have some company. We even get matching selfies and I think cool, no strings company on my ride. Anyway, about a third of the way up the first hill and she's lost. Seems I'm solo again. Nice ride, usual banter with some social strangers, I'm starting in a charity batch and off for a cruise around JHB. Hit the M1 and see a mate on the side of the road. I stop, it appears he's lost his riding partners. So we wait and see one hauling ass past us. So we catch up and the banter starts. Victor Matfield passes us and both my riding partners scream out that we need him to make a comeback, more like begging, but he ignores us. He's clearly focused on his Mrs. who doesn't look too bad in lycra, from behind anyway, but he's pushing her so clearly he's in for a longer ride than us. I loose my mates, but it's fine. For my birthday, I have some lazy friends offering everything from weed to tequila and in between. Thankfully, all I got was a cupcake and an ice cream. I can't feel my ass having covered only 180km during the year and I seriously consider putting the ice cream in my bibs, but sanity prevails. I complain about the "gooch cream" I'm using for chafing. One of my mates suggests that I shouldn't put it in but rather on and around. I dish out almost all my cramp blockers to those needing some relief, and make it to the end dreading the climb back to Dainfern. Once back at my breakfast spot I need a beer and settle in. Another rider eases in at the table beside me and recognises me from Midmar Mile 8 Mile Club 2014. I end up drinking more beer than was perhaps necessary talking **** to this fella. We swap cell numbers and Strava profiles and I amble home to my delicious lamb lunch and an afternoon nap while my awesome wife occupies the kids and allows for some silence before I'm woken at 17h00 with Happy Birthday and cake. Official time: 4h55 Riding time: 4h21 Fun factor: 10 Bike: Giant XTC0 I still feel like I'm sitting on a golf ball, but I'll be back next year and this time I'll rub the chafing cream on and around
