Mr Winter

Was gonna duck out of work early to go pick it up, now my buddy can go do it tomorrow for me.

In shorter distance races such as Sprint or Olympic Distance, break two elastic bands and tie them around the top tube of your bike, then place your energy gels underneath the elastic bands so they are easily reachable during the bike segment. Same idea with your Sunglasses which during the rush of transition can easily get forgotten, dropped or trodden on! Place the arms of the sunglasses underneath the bands to hold them securely, then you can wait until you have got yourself into a comfortable position on the bike segment before putting them on

I also thought my TIPS where much better

Using Strava or Endomondo on your cell phone during the swim is generally a bad idea, unless you have a BB

There is no way to avoid contact in the swim. Arms are flapping and feet are kicking, and someone may swim over you. Know it's going to happen, be prepared and don't panic. Stay calm and keep swimming.

Equipment Check At least 2 days before, pump tires, and go over your bike thoroughly. Are your goggles leaking, or do they suck? GET NEW ONES RIGHT AWAY!!!

On the bright side, tourists pay a lot of money to get close encounters with our wildlife. Most of us live less than 25km from Groenkloof and only have to pay R30 to ride the awesome trails and enjoy the wildlife.

You cycling in a nature reserve with wild animals, wild animals are just that, wild. People ride there knowing the risk .

I was doing the 45km in the rain last year and wouldn't do it again, the repairs cost way to much!! Sadly I have to miss it this year but next year i'll be there

Any route profile yet?

Just entered the race should be fun

+1

How much water do you drink during the day? The afternoon exhaustion may be a sign of dehydration

I did my first 94.7 last year on my MTB with my knobblies and I didn't have any issues I did wash it the day before though

I always plan on doing it until i'm on the home stretch and I can start smelling the bacon and egg rolls.

You can still buy Windhoek there

Number 8 is one of the best reason to ride at Northen farms, I love those bacon and egg rolls!! What is causing the mud at northen farms it hasn't rained in ages and the sections that do have mud are not drying up

I thought white shoes made you look like a dancing queen?

Which i'm hoping will be me

Agreed, I couldn't care less what a guy wears or rides because it has absolutely 0 impact on my life. However Rude people on a trail boil my blood

In for this one, been looking forward to it as it broke me proper last year and I almost came off at the floating bridge This time I'm going to smash it.

Best comment so far, If I don't win this weeks prize i think Spartan226 should

Always wipe front to back

Don't pull a Chunky Monkey and go large at Jolly Rogers the night before

Pour lots of talcum powder on your shoes and socks, it makes it easier to get on when you feet are wet from the swim. For those that don't know, talcum powder is also known as baby powder. I had to google it the first time
