Calamari

Wow, thank you very much for this thread. Have not been on thehubsa.co.za that long. I appreciate the post. I have quite a bit of reading to do now.

I was recently introduced to a smartphone device downloadable from endomondo.com. I am amazed with the accuracy of the mapping of the routes I ride and the statistics it provides. I may however be missing the plot. Do any of you actually use this program and how accurate is the statistics really? I do not have a Garmin/Suunto device and this application seems to be doing the trick. I have added hereto a screenshot of a ride I took on Saturday morning. Any opinions or alternative software/applications I should or could use?

I have not ridden many races, but this one was a killer. I have never felt more exhausted with any type of exercise I have attempted before. The views were spectacular in some sections. The "surprise" was a little unexpected and I was also not quite prepared for the extra distance. I survived it, made the cut, got the medal, but I will make sure that I am better prepared for next year's race.

Determined that no operation will be needed. In semi-cast for 2 more weeks then I will start with straitening exercises. I am beyond frustrated with myself at this point.

Broke my radius head (in elbow) on Saturday. Sitting in a cast at the moment. Will know on Friday if they will operate.

Broke my radial head this Saturday after doing 87 kms. I had to do a further 6 kms with broken elbow. Just read the thread and did not realise that extensive physio may be required. Surgeon may want to operate on Saturday. Will have to wait till Friday to evaluate recovery after a cast was introduced in ER.

Vir iemand wat sopas begin MTB het was daardie afdraand nogal "scary".
