  1. I have time constraints and wake up at 4am to exercise. Weekends are also problematic. I'm also talking about those who have minor injuries that get aggravated in order to hit goals.
  2. I'm toying with getting my employer to pay my vitality. I've already saved them around R8K this year in flights... R3K for a year's vitality should be a good trade. my best possible points, based on the time i have to exercise is 700 per week. not looking forward to the required 1200 being hit. I wonder how many injuries are going to happen with people overtraining in order to hit targets.
  3. I recon Olivia Munn is gonna get a whole new batch of followers on Instagram after this
  4. I'm missing today's run. I thought I'd get some points for it but not yet...
  5. I pay R50pm with a R1,150 excess. I'm with CIB. The unit is insured for R15K.
  6. Because Chris snr is getting married: "money, that's what i want" by Barrett Strong Starts off with "the best things in life are free" Let's go Chris snr, money can't buy you this joy any more than free stuff can buy us joy
  7. There was a way to save it but it is a mission. I seem to remember seeing a method on the Garmin Forum under the fēnix 3 tab.
  8. I have almost a complete 26"bike that I was planning to use to build a single speed. I really have bugger all time and so after a few years need to accept that I'll need to make an alternative plan for my SS It's effectively a medium Merida Matt TFS 300. Missing very few parts but I have complete wheel sets, seat post, stem, saddle, handlebars, brakes (hydraulic), cranks and a lot of other stuff. You'll make my wife very happy if you take it off my hands. EDIT: I see you have a venue at the bike park. I'll drop the stuff off for you. The frame has most of the paint stripped, I was really gonna pimp it
  9. Shot. I was very pissed, every year, since having the fēnix 2, I've changed to the velcro strap for my beach holiday specifically for its hardiness. It's worked a charm and so I felt pretty safe. This time though, I'm not sure what happened but I felt if coming off and although I grabbed for it, I had to also make a quick grab for my 7 yr old who had just been upended by the same offending wave, and it disappeared into the abyss. I did see a whole lot of metal detector guys on the beach every morning when going for my morning run and none of them had found it, or didn't admit to having done so if they had.
  10. So after losing my fēnix 3 Sapphire in the sea last week, I was miff. However, after insurance etc., this turned into a little bit of happiness when I bought the replacement. Garmin fēnix 3 Sapphire Titanium. Lighter by a long shot(with the metal band on) and not too bad looking either.
  11. Ya, there's one out with the optical HRM in the unit itself. Never liked those. I use the Edge 520 for MTB, so no issue anyway, this I used for running and swimming. Still don't like the built in HRM, I've got the HR straps and those work just fine.
  12. OK, so down in Umhlanga for a family break and wearing my fênix 3 Sapphire with Velcro strap. In the waves with my kids and we all get dumped properly and I feel the Velcro peel away. Had to make a quick catch of the little one and thus couldn't catch the watch, obvious choice! Question now is, do I go for the Titantium or the leather strap Sapphire as the replacement? Standard Sapphire was quite heavy, but looked great, I use it as an every day watch and want to keep the slick look... Gonna buy replacement tomorrow and claim insurance later, any ideas, how durable is the leather, I know it'll not withstand swimming etc., but it looks awesome. Please learned Hubbers, some advice please... EDIT: if you find one on or around Umhlanga beach, give me a heads up please, such a waste of a lekker watch [emoji26][emoji26][emoji26]

  14. I feel like I've just been encouraged to take more lift selfies wearing a Sharks jersey. For the record, I think this pic was taken the day we beat The Stormers.
  15. Choose me choose me...
  16. So, having started a new job, getting flu, aggravating a lower back muscle strain, I have decided to accept defeat and pull the plug on my 2016 effort. How do I go about having a substitution done for a more worthy participant?
  17. The Sharks played like guppies and were thoroughly outplayed by The Lions. Dismal, not even our "sublime defence"could save us this time...
  18. Word has it that the Guptas are busy offering the Bok coaching job to some potential candidates at their Saxonwold house as we speak. Oregan Hoskins is in the other room...
  19. My base was pretty good, mixed it up with some swimming and some MTB, it just seems a lot further away now. 600km doesn't seem like too much effort, and I was kind of expecting a long day anyway, so if it can be done, the dream is still alive
  20. Good morning all, Seems after the flu and injury etc. I'm fighting an uphill battle for my first downrun (see what I did there ) I went on a short, 6.5km, run this morning and felt like I was starting all over again. Have I left it too late and should I offer my entry for substitution, giving it to someone who's put in the required work and wait for next year, or should I hang in there and take a chance? What are the odds of making it happen for 2016?
  21. I've had a couple of runs without pain after the layoff and I'm now ready to up the training. I'm just a little nervous of building too quickly and injuring myself again.
  22. I've been running a neutral shoe the whole time. I asked if I should purchase an alternative shoe and was told that my problem although not severe enough to warrant a different shoe, I still needed some correction. Gonna give it a shot and see. I can't continue with the persistent injuries, I've been to a physio, a bio and now the podiatrist. Third time lucky I hope.
  23. OK, so my qualifier has been moved out. Injury killed my December training and now after a visit to the podiatrist, and some very expensive orthotic inserts in my shoes, I feel like I'm starting all over again
