  1. Weather forecasts for Oudsthoorn look ok? Anyone know what the moon will be like?
  2. Can anyone give more info on this race. I know very little about what a recce entails and how it will pertain to this race. Should I carry takkies with me - like will I need to walk/hike/bundu bash somewhere? Any advice?
  3. Hello all What time does suikerbos open on a Saturday?
  4. Is there a list of all the one day extreme ultra MTB races in SA like 36one etc??
  5. Email sent at 11:55 am this morning and still nothing No order number other than this "Your transaction cannot be completed due to an error. Reason Transaction Cancelled (990028)" Money off my account.
  6. Same issue here - made a big purchase and order failed but credit card got hit
  7. Are you saying that this has not happened to you?
  8. The screen doesnt scratch agreed BUT the grey outer bezzel (hope that is the right term) scuffs VERY easily showing the silver metal under... Quite disappointed about this
  9. Thaba is in unbelievable condition and much more rideable. If yiu looking for the adrenalin stuff it's still there but now the other route caters for a mich wider audience. Well done
  10. Tried most of the stuff. Taste didn't enjoy and made me feel quezy. Also the gels are very runny and you supposed to take them every 20 minutes - doesn't give me the feelingg of sustanance if that makes sense. Just my opinion - I'm sure loads of people like the stuff
  11. http://static1.squarespace.com/static/55d09e5de4b06ab7f692ce1f/55d48f70e4b0d06bf5f93f42/56269cade4b0ea5e4f2e9411/1445371056813/ISO+LR_Red+Matte.png?format=750w
  12. http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2016/03/powerpod-depth-review.html Surprisingly very accurate..
  13. T%he thing is the stuff you ordering online isn't Merrel... So not sure sizing is as comparable?
  14. Anyone in the know? SO I was a little disappointed at the IM merchandise on sale - though the Merrel stuff was distinctly average. I have therefore been looking at the online store but have two uncertainties: 1) Size? Based on chest size it suggest I should buy a small however I am 1.85m tall and have never worn a small anything. Is this perhaps because it is an American small perhaps that is a South African Medium? ANyone bought with experience 2) Customs - am I correct to assume I am still going to be whacked a big one with customs and duties?
  15. Almost 24 hours later and I'm still in pain but also still on a high. My first IM and I was blown away by the organisation and the support. Cried like a little girl running down that red carpet.
  16. Remind me which way do we want the wind to blow / not blow? Also guys say predictions are for big swells - 2.5m? I do not know what this means if anythinh
  17. Given the rolling swim start will take 15 minutes to affect in totality - is going nearer the front to gain say an extra 10 minutes worth people swimming over you?
  18. Ya look I have done 3 half distance swims previously, and although with much anxiety, they did turn out to be (as most people say) the easiest part of the race. 3.8km in the ocean however is still daunting and I will try my best to keep calm and take it slow. 1hr 30min of swimming just seems like a damn long time....
  19. So with only days to go I am gearing up for my first IM... Must say its been hard to taper - a few days of pulling back and then you feel like you losing fitness and want to do a "hard session" again... Obviously I feel like I could have trained harder but now it is what it is. Given its my first one, although I have a sub 13 in mind, I just want to finish foremost. Is it normal for a "newbie" to be *** scared of the swim? I am a below average swimmer in terms of speed but have done a decent amount of mileage. I have however only done 4km swim and might do another this weekend. All i know is that once I get out of that sea alive I will be a VERY relieved man...
