  1. To say that I am 😲😳 (pleasantly surprised) would be very much an understatement so early in 2022 and in today's Day & Age !! I placed my warranty claim last week Wednesday 12 January and having been kept informed throughout by DHL - the parcel was delivered early this morning, less than 3 working days !!! I also only came across this thread by chance so Win Win all 'round 😎
  2. anyone else having issues where Vitality Points are not reflecting for workouts completed over the last few days ?
  3. The Apple Watch Series 6 - Black S/B GPS on the good side, they have stock today and I have been notified
  4. so just to confirm that I have succeeded in this regard by "being forced" to migrate to Discovery Bank and await another NEW Card, and as would be the case about availability - the IStore have taken my details as NO WATCHES ARE AVAILABLE due to a 2 - 4 week waiting list
  5. Thanks Frosty - I also received the confirmation Message in writing. The thing about contacting Discovery is working through all the computer generated frustrations.
  6. Not sure if I am the only one finding it next to impossible, well IMPOSSIBLE as I have not yet been successful at activating the IWatch renewal This would be my 3rd IWatch activation if it was possible. I have the Credit card etc. so what am I missing here ? both online as well as by mobile Any suggestion or advice will be appreciated
  7. Race2Stanford is scheduled for 24 April Who else is making this point to point event from Hermanus ?
  8. big bro' Brody and little sis' Allie - 5 years and 9 weeks respectively ! I was "spoken" into how the timing under lock down stay at home conditions were ideal for integrating a new family member what a bundle of joy but boy, how I have forgotten just how sharp and needle like the teeth and claws are
  9. I won't mention names, but I have it on good authority that as it stands at this time - the event scheduled for November will likely go ahead even with some modification. So keep up with the training even if only run, bike ... run more
  10. aaah yes, my bad - forgot about them T&C's Thanks
  11. Good morning, Has anyone purchased the Wahoo products through Sportsman's Warehouse with Vitality rewards depending on your individual % you get back ? I qualify for 50% back, and I am rather keen to confirm that on a spend of 18k, I will over time with Vitality be able to recover 9k with the reward system at 50%. Thanks in advance for any confirmation. Cheers Curbie
  12. Solid 13.5hr training week between 10 - 16 February which closed out with a long 2h30 run in the brutal 40deg heat that was about on the Sunday. It took copious amounts of water, coke, nourishment and the AC on full to keep moving for the rest of the day !! Monday - first time in years, and I have a tickle in the nose by Wednesday full blown "MAN FLU" which gets me bed ridden for 3 days and only 4hrs in the saddle only because I was a spectator for the Herald Cycle Race in sublime conditions yesterday. Still bunged up, as we all know that "MAN FLU" is real Thing is ::: some 4/5 weeks to go & I'm crazy paranoid about how long this 'sinus will still be lingering around for ! I guess, rather now if it has to be than 2 or 3 weeks out
  13. Much the same as a few others : balancing the 5 disciplines of Swim, Bike, Run & Home + Work

    just WOW ... what fun ! I can imagine that for all the racing snakes this would not have been a great day out, but for those that embraced the conditions and simply went out to have fun, the finish line will always be fondly remembered long before any time is even discussed. I was chaperoned by a trained cardio nurse, whom unfortunately was forced to abandon at the 'Kom se Pad WP' due to pnuemonia HYPOTHERMIA - she literally passed out on her bike so special thanks to all the volunteers, medics and fellow cyclists in this regard for the help and attention getting her off the bike, loaded into a vehicle with heater and eventually getting her to the Hospital. I can't believe that there were so many that were not protected against the elements for the day and just how much it seemed the ladies were suffering the most against the cold. I proceeded and having not burnt any matches, was rather looking fwd to the Simola Climb until with about 4km to go uphill my rear brakes decided it was now time to seize - hence for the final few 'downhill km' I was literally riding on 'lockout' Happy to say I kept to my promise of stopping at every WP, and ended the day with a HR ave of 140 which has made THE BOSS happy at least. Besides the obvious weather conditions, the other disappointment of the day was just how many gel packets and bar wrappers were summarily tossed by what is for sure the A,B,C type front runners Ended in a moving time of 06h03 and for sure will be back for another attempt at better conditions in 2020

  18. Hey duanelr, search IRONMAN 70.3 Durban and in the ATHLETES tab you will find the answers to all your questions by downloading / reading the Athlete's Info Guide.
  19. what an achievement. lot's of commitment and dedication involved here. well done
  20. #1962 for me ... which gives an idea of AGE striving for the African Series Medal
  21. just like that : apparently as from today, the IWatch can no longer be activated & linked to Vitality ? Can anyone verify this please ? 2019-01-17 : Device Support As of the 18 January 2019 we will no longer support the below devices: Tom Tom iHealth Misfit Members who currently have the device linked to Vitality can continue to use the device to earn their points. These members will only be able to check if their device is linked on the Discovery website and not the on the Discovery app. Any attempts to link one of the above devices from the 18 January 2019 will be unsuccessful.
