  1. I came across a video on social media of Gerda pulling empty water sachets out of her top to throw them in a Garbie bin on Sunday when on her way to break the record. This is truly inspiring and i have huge respect for her for doing this. What a role model for the youngsters. These are the type of people that we need more of in the limelight instead of the corrupt politicians.
  2. Well done b-rad, 44min improvement over your "down" time is massive let alone the 2:54 from your previous "up". I'm sure you will nail the silver next year.
  3. Tough break Barry, but glad you made the right decision. mend well and see you out there shortly again.
  4. If Vettle suffered downforce from the back marker wouldn't it mean that Lewis would have suffer the same lack of downforce from Vettle's car? I'know extremely little about aerodynamics hence the question. I like both driver equally and appreciate both their talents but Vettle has made way to many mistakes the past two seasons for such an experienced world champion.
  5. Yeah but 2021 is down too. So maybe she can carry the speed from olympic training in 2020 over to 2021?
  6. Agreed 1989 (Down Run) Frith Van der Merwe 15th overall 5H54min43sec 2019 (Up Run) Gerda Steyn 17th Overall 5H58min53sec (Broke the record by over 10min) Seen as Firth still holds the record for the down run, who knows what Gerda might do over the next two years "down" runs. Provided she doesn't over train and hurt herself like Caroline. I for one surely hope she stays injury free!
  7. So now the question is, who had the most legendary run, Gerda or Frith?
  8. Thanks Flemish. As for the grinder itself, is it a good enough / decent piece of equipment that is recommendable for the price range or is there something better suited in that price bracket?
  9. Best of luck to all our Comrades runners. Safe travels and tell us all the war stories next week.

    I disagree on this. We finished higher on the log and with more points than last season. Unai has had a good influence on the culture of the club (not finished yet as we still don't have BMT as proved last evening and the final 5 games of the season when we had third place almost wrapped up) which has lead to a vibe / atmosphere change in the stadium and fan base. While we are still very far away from the top and with only 40mil to spend i don't see that gap closing next year, i think he is the right man for the job. I was begging for change since 2006 so i will give him a few more years before joining the axing parade. Last night's loss can't be completely put on Unai's shoulders. Yes he was naive to believe that Ozil would do anything different in the final to what he has done the past 2 season so therefore by selecting him he has to shoulder that blame. What he can't be blamed for is Kozzer, our captain being guilty of contributing to three if not all four goals and golden boot Auba not being able to put a single shot on target from his four attempts. As i said, a lot of work still to be done.
  11. Wow Gifs well done. Thanks for all the effort
  12. You can include the Sani Stagger 38km Trail . 23 Nov @ R390 1580m of climbing
  13. No rush. Doing a 38km trail in nov and then planning on a 60 - 100km next year if all goes well.
  14. For the trail runners: Which hydration packs would you recommend for not really water supply but to have enough space for all compulsory equipment as well as comfort while running? OneDayOnly has these on special toady, would either be good enough or is there something better suited elsewhere like Salomon Agile etc? https://www.onedayonly.co.za/octane-dart-1-5l-running-hydration-pack-4.html https://www.onedayonly.co.za/2018-arete-18-hydration-pack-with-1-5l-6.html https://www.onedayonly.co.za/l-u-x-e-3l-hydration-pack-6.html
  15. Unless the wind in howling like at IM this year then there is definitely a benefit. I had a guy drafting and when i asked him to come through he asked me if i was crazy, so i stopped right there and then and walked.
  16. I think if the plan is to purposefully draft then maybe have a quick word with the runner and offer a turn on the front.
  17. Surely then you are just a bystander?
  18. @Jewbacca How are the nerves holding up for Saturday's 100miler?
  19. He is one of the people that truly left his mark on the sport. RIP

  22. Our very own Ferret beat him. Maybe your calling is in the mountains Ferret.
  23. While I don't dispute that doping in SA exists, two of the three mentioned here are from Lesotho. 1) Joseph Mphuthi RSA Siyabani Gold AC 2) Mamorallo Tjoka Lesotho Nedbank Int 3) Moeketsi Mosuhli Lesotho Nedbank Int I do agree with you and think that all dopers should be banned from the two events for life.
