Hello, For Open Water Swimming and Stroke Correction/Video Analysis contact Jana Schoeman 082 823 9478 http://www.facebook.com/ReplayVideoAnalysis/ Hope this helps!!

Nahhh if I cant ride full 360 then I dont ride. Just my personal preference.

No, after Trans drak I know I do not have the fitness required for 36One and I do not want to NOT finish again. (If I did not know what is waiting for me, like last year I might have still stay entered) Will see what next year holds. FYI I am selling my entry for R1000 o.n.o and buyer responsible for sub fees. (full distance solo)

Hey guys i have a solo entry to sell! Full distance.

Guys my husband is going to follow and meet me at some of the water points. Does someone know if spectators are allowed at all water points or if they are only allowed at checkpoints?

I see the temperature does not drop really low. 20 degrees min on weather.com hmmmm wonder how true this is.

Oi hopefully pushing us....?

4 sleeps.... everybody ready for the weekend?

Awesome!! My dad is doing 180 this year again, he did not make the 12hr cutoff by less than 5min last year. So hopefully this year I can pick him up halfway and ride to the finish line together!!

My long/night ride is Trans Draak next weekend,

I have been nervous since not finishing last year's 36One, got to 310km and called it a day. I am very quiet this year, focussing on the positive and to finish this year. From my side to the first timers, do not under estimate those hills and the section after Calitzdorp was pure hell for me, thank goodness I was riding solo, for the first time cried on my bike he he he he Hopefulle learnt from my mistakes from last year.....let's see. All I can also say is that the guys passing me was always so friendly and up for a joke or a chat.

Also make sure that your bike is insured, in racing also. Most insurances dont insure your bike in races. We are with MiWay and my bike is insured for R38k and we pay R162p/m.

@Dale... the bibs are fairly new just put that comment in so that guys dont think my bibs are done and i am blaming the saddle. @Tumbleweed No. If i pres my thumb lightly up and down on the left hand side of the saddle bridge it makes the squeak. Less if i do it on the right. Oi my 5hr base rides have been squeaky and i did 36one on the saddle without a squeak. O the saddle could be 3 yrs old, not more.

Does anyone know the lifespan of the Fizik Vesta saddle? Have done about 450hrs over 2 years. It started to squeak alot recently, my comfort is suddenly also not what it was. (Riding with new bibs)

just if you guys and girls wondered..... 135 dayzzz..... and 80 dayzz to Trans Drak

Looks like I am sweeping the 40km ... hope I dont see any of you guys

The partnership was terminated in August 2015, probably why you have not heard. I will be joining club 100 and i only have to pay them to join.

I am accidently in the market for a club, emailed Club 100 and apparently the deal between Club 100 and Team Vitality was teminated. They are now two seperate clubs. Just thought I would mention it.

Guys and girls the CHOC Cows are looking for sweeps for all of the distances! Involves being the last rider home and help the guys with punctures or just guiding them home. Please pm me if you would like to help for a great cause. Thanks!

sooo for all of you that forgot to count down, today is 200 days!! dont know if i am better off this year so far, 3.5 months post hip arthroscopy so had to train on the idt till last week Thursday, now to slowly build the hours up again!!

On the bright side we will gain less weight doing the base miles and eating all of the yumm christmas food

Will be doing this one for the first time next year, actually as a training ride for 36One.

Ha ha ha will you be back also? Must say one thing I scored from not finishing last year is a blanket, which I call my non finishers blanket. Bonus of next year is I will have loads of friends on the route and know where to better plan and what to expect. Already got my husband as my support team. he he he he think he is just glad he does not have to ride it with me. Already started training (be it some rehabilitation, for a hip operation) and got a coach, next year I am NOT riding at the back again plus will be seeing the sun come up over Rooiberg. Shame my dad finished 180 but finished in something like 12hr5min so he was classified as DNF....so he also has a score to settle. #219days to go.....

Entry confirmed.... score to be settled... #224days2go

Well I got my nails done.... So now I feel ready (sorry sooo off topic)
