nope was to early to start drinking

Yes i am FOR REAL. its not about walking an extra 100m it's about being messed around by IDIOT's in bloem celtic supporter shirts. The OFM marshalls tell you to walk this way and the moffie rugby marshalls tell you to walk that way.

just a pity about the idiocy of having 2 events at the same venue at the same time and having people walk all the way around the stadium after finishing a 107k event!!!!! o ja and having to pay 90 buck for a crap t-shirt!!!!!!!!

The cap is 3000, including the teams but excluding pro's which is usually about 40

7:25 for the MTB?

7:25 for the MTB?

i don't think there is a straight answer to your question. it depends on how clean you keep your chain, how hard you ride etc.

will be 60 days this week!!!! how you guys holding up?

Nope you are not alone, starting to have nightmares of never-ending monster climbs with no water and cool 42 deg celsius temp p.s. this is me and my "other woman", when you pass me say howzit

R20k MAX,

Thanks, much appreciated . I'm getting real tired of breaking my back bending down or even squatting to clean/fix/service my bike and don't feel like spending R1k plus on service stand.

c&c mill, a friend and I wanted to import one a while back R60k exc taxes and duties and the extra bits and fittings, min of finance did not like the idea, but that is a nice toy. maybe one day when i'm big

very nice, do you perhaps have a detailed drawing of some kind for the stand? or some more photos from different angles?

+1 I learnt an expensive lesson without one (stripped the crank-arm bolts)

I use Evox Whey Protein (cookies & cream flavor). I only use mine after high intensity training session though and not as a meal replacement.

Indwe (underwritten by santam) works for me!

When you sit upright/back, it can prove that you are not drafting/blocking as opposed to being aero i.e. being upright shows the ref that you are merely climbing up the hill and that you are unintentionally entering the drafting/blocking zone. This is especially important when bunches start forming and someone passes you, just sit back/upright, that way the ref won't card you. This will however be explained at the race briefing

I use a gamin forerunner 110 for running & cycling GPS enabled got mine for R 1700 at sportsmans warehouse without the HRM Battery life is great if you don't use the HRM, with both GPS and HRM mine lasts about 6 hours

as far as I have it they take your age as at 31 December i.e. for next year's event your age at 31 Dec 2013

Hi All, To help you find your bike during the check out process, try and remember what time you finished the bike leg (clock time not race time). As you come into transition the bikes get racked in specific 'time' blocks i.e. 11:00 - 11:30, 12:00-12:30. Happy training

thanks some "solid" advice there

exactly why I am getting nervous Edit: PS it's my first multi day, so any tips welcome regarding race day (i doubt if training advice will be of much help now)
