<script language='javascript'> </script> Jip, renewals are under way, might just have to sit out on the Vitality option this year to feel out if its working or not

<script language='javascript'> </script> Thanks, I am rather surprised with the total lack of organization in terms of this, surely all things should be finalized before you market this?

have any of you guys received a response on your initial mail query to Discovery?

<script language='javascript'> </script> How technical are the trails at Avianto? I will do the 11km as I might do a road run the day before

the week after is the Puma trial (same course as Xterra) http://www.stillwatersports.com/event/puma-trailrun-buffelspoort/

<script language='javascript'> </script> <script language='javascript'> </script> Hmmm, which one to do?

Dubbel reply to Dubbelbuys

<script language='javascript'> </script> I am sure there are formulas and structured plans out there however my advise would be to take it slowly and incorporate some walking at the start, always take the distance increase slower than you think. As cyclists we want to increase distance quickly but you risk your knees, hips and feet not coping with dramatic increases in distance.

<script language='javascript'> </script> I assume your comment is based on the Speedcross 3's as these are the most popular in the Salomon range. Actually these have a lot of support (fit wise) as these hug your foot nicely. They do not offer support in term of pronation although trial shoes should not be providing this in any case as you need to negotiate undulating terrian and including too much support will hamper your ability to "feel" the terrain. Also has nice toe protection when compared to its rivals. I run with a pair for my runs in excess of 10kms as the higher offset gives my calves some relief.

<script language='javascript'> </script> Keen, I am going to start training on the road this week then run trail over the weekends

<script language='javascript'> </script> So much LOL

<script language='javascript'> </script> Juuup, I am by no means fast on the flats but give me a nice technical downhill and I love just bombing down it

<script language='javascript'> </script> Nice one! I will try and get an entry for 2016, def on the bucket list.

Want

<script language='javascript'> </script> I have used the Nathan equivalent, the trail mix. Works okay, there is still some bounce. Was rather pricey at the time, I see capestorm now have their own version Costs around 350 if I remember correctly. The belts are okay, I only use mine when running short distances (I try to teach myself to proactively drink water while running) longer runs I use the vest

I see the Run The Berg entries for next year are open, keen

<script language='javascript'> </script> I use a Camelbak Marathoner vest at the moment, paid around 1,100 at Solomons a few months ago http://www.gr10trail.com/ekmps/shops/gr10trail/images/camelbak-marathoner-vest-2l.-%5B2%5D-5695-p.jpg

<script language='javascript'> </script> 100kms is a bit FRIS for me, I am going to try and enter a few marathon distance events next year ( bit of a shortage of those up here in Gauteng though)

Such sad news bru, feels like we all got to know him through your posts and pics. Such an awesome companion. Condolences, may you find comfort in knowing his pain is gone and his memory will live on.

I did the Diamond Dash last Sunday, man was that the hardest race EVER!

<script language='javascript'> </script> I was going to but got sick on Friday, I am doing the Spur series. You?

<script language='javascript'> </script> Made my day

PING WEIGHT WEENIE! How was the Retto?
