  7. thanks for the vid andrew wow i have a massive lump in my throat watching it, i can recall every aspect of the moment it was played last year the goosebumps, the cold on the starting line, the people next to me, the fear and anxiety, that feeling you get in your stomach, the emotions, such a special race...this made me feel like its really close now.
  8. last year i did a 10:30 comrades with 800km this year currently sitting on 440km from jan seems crazy but did alot of swimming and cycling too for ironman then i had a horrible back injury that put me out of running for about a month( interestingly it was my running shoe that caused it though it did little mileage and didnt look worn at all but apparently it is). even though the mileage is very little i feel stronger than ever got a 4:33 marathon at ironman for my qualifier and did slowmag 50km two weeks later in 4.53 and felt very good afterwards. il keep running till about the 15th and then start tapering. goodluck everyone
  9. after reading this thread and speaking to a few guys here i decided to try it out and i must say i regret not doing this sooner, last week thursday i cancelled my dstv. whole family is extremely happy with the decision, no more repeats no more ads i watch what i want when i want to and save so much money in the process. sport is abit difficult to watch and get used to and quality is not as good but thats a small price to pay.
  10. help needed, bought a raspberry pi with kodi preloaded, when i connect it up the pi and openelec seems to connects to wifi, but in kodi it seems there is no internet connection like when i try to add a source i get a message saying "unable to connect couldnt retrieve directory information. this could be due to the network not being connected....." and "remote share couldnt connect to network server" in system setting it shows a ip address and link connected. what to do?
  11. ironman and comrades
  12. nope, wish i could but it clashes with other races we entered.
  13. the thing i concluded out of all these doper stories is that cycling is actually bad for your health, "pros" who do this whole bicycle riding thing properly unlike me a useless weekend warrior are the most at risk and suffer the most. just warning you guys maybe consider some other safer sport.
  14. me. it was a very nice race, very well organized great weather and a massive field with lekker atmosphere. for me the one massive climb was very steep and tough and equally difficult i found the descent in the last 3km because its so steep.
  15. so who else is doing dischem 21km this sunday?
  16. i saw it said he is ceo of some furniture company in pe so maybe him, but company looks fake and has no contact details on its website except for his cell number
  17. scam artist, he advertised a ribble bike with pics he copied from gumtree uk, told me to pay half the money and he would send the bike, but was not interested in meeting face to face. he is nothing more than a thief, but a very sophisticated one he even has a fake company website. im sorry to hear you guys got scammed, someone must know this piece of trash as there are pics of him taking part in certain races . from what i understand that is his real name.
  18. its 10 speed, it came new with the bike which i bought brand new about 4 years ago. is it something i can do myself? or who do i send it to?
  19. need some help please have campagnolo veloce groupset recently my left hand side shifter has a terrible rattling noise that drives me crazy, it still shifts and brakes perfectly, i notice that if i grip the sides tightly when its making the rattling noise it stop but as soon as i let go it starts immediately. any advise for me
  20. plenty of qualifiers to choose from so dont stress, even the JC 21km might be a bad idea i think since you havnt been running for so long, rather take this time to make sure you recover well from your cough, and start slowly from january. maybe keep up the core and strength work till january.
  21. hey thats exactly what happens to my rear casette during intervals
  22. hey guys so who did tough one yesterday? was my first had no idea it as so difficult, you just climb and climb and climb, with one or two very sharp decents which were very steep, nevertheless had so much fun suffering in the race and finished in 2:56 which im really happy about as i havnt trained much at all, best thing is i got two medals for completing both 94.7 and tough one, and i got a sub 6hour combined time next il try for a 5.45 combined time over the two events. will definately be back for this race.
  23. this is exactly what riaz who rode with i team at the race decided we would do, choose one day per month and make that the suikerbos day. circus would be great place to meet you would get exactly 86km, or even better we start maybe at panorama or somewhere further which will be closer for the jhb guys. lets agree on a specific weekend every month at least two of us definately on for this.
  24. sounds like a plan to me, and after that we can start the I Team triathlon group
  25. wow thats excellent he has the go to match the show
