StumpJumPer

I Bought my Stumpjumper at Melrose Arch Spez Shop... Cost me R28 000 - They did not even offer me a bike fitment and when I questioned them about it the told me it will be R950. is it just me or is that absolutely Crazy?!?!? If i buy a bike For 28 000 surely the can set me up, make me coffee and buy me lunch for that price.... That shop hasn't seen me since! And never will....

most Def. Agree with wheelerdealer No Dieet No Results..... Nothing beats eating right..... Even though its so damm difficult.....

MusleTech 100% whey protein vanilla(so that you can mix with whatever) incl a great Amino acid profile and tastes great. After intense workout or brick training I go Half-Half on the muscletech Whey and 32Gi Recovery. LOVE it!

Should guys like this still be allowed on this site after what he's doing here?????? Someone lost their life dude.... Great job for Fixing the Holes :clap:

Clearly you make more than enough money not to complain...... RANT ON....

I entered last night.......No Problem!!!!

Only thing dissapointing in the Goddie bag for me is that the RedSwimmingcap can get the 5150 printed on it. And a waterbottle will be Great....just by printing the cap and giving a waterbottle with 5150 logo will make the Goddiebag 100% complete... Also agree that it is a great event....My Complaints are simple small stuff....That in my mind should be some of the first things you look at when you want to org a event....

Well...Very interessting comments..... I Entered the event, but had to go on the Antibiotics on Wednesday....So I was the 'Photogropher for all my mates.... 1. Goodie Bag was very Dissapointing(Actually Shocking) 2. How can you have Triathlon event where more than 75% of the people walk on the swim leg????? The one guy even said that he was forced to swim because of the rocks hurting his feet because he walked like 900m That is absolutely ridiculious...swim is a swim...very unfair if you swim and a coward walks faster right next to you.. 3. transtion from swim to bike - transition to the Dismount - Why was this area not covered??????? The Poor Girl asks all the athletes "Please Carry your bikes" because there are thorns on the way....Four guys not making it out of the bike transition in the mere 15min I was standing complaining and very upset. However, the finishing straight has a great red cover for the last 100M.....very contradicting!!! 4. I took my camera and waited at the 20km turn for lap 2. Only to find a very polite 15year old marshalling the turn...All of them were working for Free...(Hoerskool Warmbad Students) There were al helluva lot of school children runnig the show on the bike leg....Working for free from 11 -17h00 in the blistering heat. The poor lightie could not not keep up and manage...Only a very small sign showing LAP 2 or Finish. So I make my way to the bike Dismount waiting...And here comes not 1 not 2 not 3 but 5 gentleman asking " Were do I turn for Lap 2??" Now this area is at least 2km from the turnaround so ill give them 5km ekstra on the bike....3 of the 5 guys were heavilly upset. Other guy just whent straight into transition maybe breaking some records on his bike leg.... 5 an final.....VIP tent next to the Finish.....Catering for all those buggers who took everyones money...All of them having a Great time..... Instead the couldve provided proper shading for the Spectators....Got matts in and out of transition...And at least Set up a prober and clear sign to indicate the bike split at LAP 2 and Finish...Or even get a Grown-up to Marshall that important section?? Im am not speaking for myself, but for a group of 8 other athletes....And my close to 10 finishers asking them how they felt about the race..... R800??????? I think they can get away with charging R250.... Someones Bank acount is very happy after Bella Bella 5150

Drain What you can..... Throw him in the freezer..... Take out night before you wanna use again.

I was at Emmerentia Last week Saturday.... In my wetsuit ready to roll.... I could not even swim 30m...My whole Face felt like instant brain freeze and my nasal area went into Panic mode... I don't know how im gonna survive bella Bella..... New wetsuit...First wetsuit swim...Im not gonna lie...I am very nervous.....

I still can't believe its that expensive.... Def. not worth it....

This guy and Norman-29 are definitley friends....

Fitness and Friends...

So Glad im Seeing this Post. We are also a couple of guys who just purchased our Tri-Wetsuits last week and week. And we need to test them out at least 3 times before 5150. So what is the Conclusion here on the open water swimming????? Base 3 sound like the only place looking at the posts where no one got sick?!? Any other recommended places?!? We are willing to drive....

Also going for the Drive in...Drive Back option!

This is terrible news!!!!!! :thumbdown:

Great wheels on the Raleigh...........

Hi, I got my bike setup by Gary Beneke in Alberton. He is just great and so helpful. He knows exactly what he's doing and direct trade you on the parts you need for a proper setup. http://www.garybeneke.co.za/Contact.aspx Came in under R300 Bike feels great. No Problem!!!! Go to Gary!!!!

30 is Fair, But 20 will be Great!!!!

*TOPIC*

It does matter.... Because all the guys there were pretty awesome and fun.... And well...you are simply full of K*k. Not adding any value whatsoever to this toic or conversation.

The Race was Amazing!!!!! My first and DEF. not my last.... You will see me there for as long as you have this Event... That is such a lovley part of SA..... The whole concept and the friendly people make this one my FAVOURITE race in South Africa!!! A must do for any Cyclist!!!! Wind Stage 2

Blah blah blah....Rather keep your comments for youself...You mos DEF. one of those guys who ride these expensive bikes with the dishes and get beaten by everyone... The race was great...Where you even there?????

Hi EVERYONE, This KREMETART race was the Greatest race I have ever Done!!! The headwind on stage 2 was terrible, but made the day all that more interessting. I would recommed this race to every Cyclist out there.... I will even go this far as to to say that the Kremetart is the BEST RACE IN SOUTH AFRICA!!! Thank You PPC, Stanley and all the Organisers and Sponsors. You will see us Next year again....

I Really hope someone show this topic and chat to These Race Organisers. We are a couple of guys doing the 70.3 And we really wanted to do the 5150. But the price is totally bizarre!!!! We live in SA. Not in some first world Country. I thought Traithlon is all about good spirit, Not saving 3 monthsjust to take part and one event and living on bare minimum just to make the event. If we had millions we would be on our Yachts drinking cocktails on weekends. But we are not....And we can't even enter a simple race, because we are once again....not millionares!
