not sure if this deserves a place on this topic, from reading the last 2 pages... anyways, was my first race ever managed to finish before the cut off, did a 4:15 with 2 stops. really really battled the last 5 km. but made it... also nearly missed the medal, went thru the finish and put the bike down on the grass, then noticed everyone riding past me further up, got on again, and then got a medal. my first and toughest race, I need a better training route and to the guys that gave out the advice, thanks man, I saw those bottles at the Tarlton rumble strips, and after Lion and Rhino park, I was expecting the "rolling hills". but after that, uphill, after uphill, after uphill.... eish is 94.7 tougher than this race ?
