I also start in DL. Hope to do my first sub 3 this weekend!

Thanks, this is very good info! This makes more sense than just trying to do 2000km before the Argus!

I also lost my legs at 70 km when I started cramping badly! The same thing happened at the Jacaranda and the OFM. I am just wondering if it is not because of one’s training intensity which is not at the same level as one’s racing intensity (Hart rate)? I have only started cycling 8 month’s ago. So I am also wondering what to do.

I was also seeded badly in TT. I took my race results from the Jacaranda and Ofm from racetech and got reseeded to J. I am not sure how many reseeds is still possible so late in the game.

Die waarskuwings van die wedren organiseerders was uitgestuur dat dit nie wys is om die eerste dag nommers te kom afhaal nie. Die toeloop van mense was erg die eerste 8 ure van dag 1. Dit was te verwagte, dit is hoekom hulle ons gewaarsku het. Al die kommentaar daarna op The Hub Sa was positief! So is dit regtig swak diens? Sien jy glo in vryheid van spraak, snaaks dat jy net op spelling gefokus is?

Ja, ek is dalk nie 'n "english spell checker" nie. Wyatt Earp ou maat jy moet dalk leer dat ‘n goeie begryper net ‘n halwe word nodig het. Do you whant to talk about spelling and grammer or cycling?

We travelled from Heilbron in the Free State to go and collect our numbers yesterday. We arrived there at 15h00 and were done collecting in half an hour. It was nice talking to fellow cyclist in the queues while we were waiting! I am wondering if the people that “sees the glass half empty” instead of “the glass half full” are going to complain on Monday about the travic, parking, sun, wind and the time it took before the race starts. This is all part of the proses and the entire cyclist will experience the same race of ± 94.7km!

Good luck! Hope there will be a good group forming.

Anny one in group TT who is aiming for a sub 3H30?

When tarting at 10h00, will it still be possible to do a 3H30min with all the trafic in front of you?

Thank you! It gives me some idea what to expect. I think the 10H00 start on the 94.7 might be a problem.

I think it was a very nice race. What can one expect comparing times between the Ofm and the 94.7?
