  1. For what it is worth, you can do the fitness assessment for R425 and get another 10% off, which should be ~R730, saving you an extra 330, but costing you time and investment. Where did you get the R600 from? 15% of R7300 is ~R1100 also, thought it was worth mentioning, 920xt's still seem to sell well 2nd hand for R2000, so picking up one "new" with 90 day warranty sounds like a better venture. If the 920xt packs up in a year, mabe you get offered a 935 then at a rate still lower or near the vitality discounted 935
  2. I didn't bother checking the toilets or whether there was any water, sorry
  3. I went cycling there Friday with the road bike for the first time. It was amazing as always. I saw less animals, more baboons and no snakes at all. Only negative thing was the picnic goers and their littering - while municipal workers were behind them cleaning the area.
  4. First bolded paragraph gave a lot of insight, thank you 2nd bolded part reminded me about the discussion of the faucet splitter and the cost being high as well. Bottles seem indeed like the much lesser evil of the lot!
  5. Doesn't the problem lie with bottels/sachets/whatever get littered instead of chucked into dustbins? Only workable solution I can think of is "bring your own bottle/cup". If cups and bottles then get littered, its at the expense of the littering runners and not so detrimental to the image of sponsors. I don't have a lot of running events under the belt, but have experienced the littering nonetheless.
  6. didn't know that! Seaweed sachets? sounds fascinating... time for some reading!
  7. What about those 100% consumable water globules? Is the tech still too new to be incorporated into these large scale events?
  8. You sound like a teenager with a limited emotional range with all that exaggerated laughing. 4 days later and you still care enough to cry about it. Also, you should make an optometrist appointment, you're literally seeing double. Oh wait it just hit me, you also don't know how a multiquote button works - no wonder you were triggered into oblivion. I'm still happy you also had a good weekend of running or riding. Take this as a lesson to practicing impartiality
  9. Oh, right, i see now. Keeping items as as live but renamed with "sold" just clutters the marketplace, like paging through a 2014 CAR magazine, seeing a porsche for R900 000 and then starting to shop for one finding them all priced R1.6 mil
  10. You may know this already, but archiving the items still retains them and are then only visible to yourself - I do the same to keep track of what I've sold.
  11. Is this why you're calling people derogatory terms? Salty from not getting as much exercise lately? First sucker of the day to fall for Godwin's Law. You know the saying floating around the hub about being lekker? Yea... I hope you've recovered well, have many safe kilometers of running and riding and good luck with next week's race!
  12. Makes perfect sense. Thank you for taking a moment to enlighten me with context, I do appreciate it. Some hubbers on this thread lack this skill.
  13. Wow, really?! With that reasoning you probably also stir your coffee by covering the cup with your hand and shaking it, because spoons give a metal taste, right? Yea that's what your example sounds like. Many people use it as an excuse to increase their post counts too, probably more than the "many" that do it to "retain authenticity". Your argument is flawed though, because you can edit the post without making changes to the original to begin with. Regardless, if retaining so called "true reflection" was the intention of the website, the edit button wouldn't exist to begin with. Who died? Bad failed attempt at humor. I remember years back in school hearing the same jokes from class clowns. Keep your panties on and stop making incorrect assumptions and jumping to equally incorrect conclusions. My first post was a blatant and direct question as to WHY, no "advice" was propagated when supporting the question with the alternative provided by the site. Now, if you have actual contributions to make on the topic like I did, go ahead. Otherwise, keep your rants to pm's.
  14. your question is off topic. It makes the website look contemporary and efficient and not full of technologically challenged members
  15. wouldn't that "but overall..." look better if you use the edit function, specifically designed for that purpose? To this day, I find that items in demand priced reasonably well sell, items not in demand and items that are overpriced, don't sell quickly or well. Nothing out of the ordinary, imo!
  16. Hmm, I'm also confused. Every single steps activity has an active rewards symbol adjacent to the number, but nowhere does is say the limit thing like yours is. I'm going to go ahead and say ignore what I said, even though it seems to be counting towards my overall still, on paper it shouldn't be and may change =\
  17. It appears like I'm still getting towards my points cap, in spite of being well over 1000 from steps. I got 50 points for last night's 5000 steps and I checked to confirm it is at 1600 already.
  18. I've had the opposite happen to me. Both wearing the watch too tight and having a rubber bracelet ahead of the watch to wick sweat has constricted bloodflow giving inaccurate readings, but seriously inaccurate, like 123 hr when it is really 170.
  19. either you're bad or I'm an idiot for watching this in the morning at the office. I'll have a twitching leg for the rest of the day!
  20. Thank you for the suggestion Grebel. I'm still fairly new to the Garmin browser software so will see if it is possible to add markers and such to a single activity
  21. its a vivoactive 3. I actually only realised that separate activities below 30 minutes aren't counted together, after the app gave 100 points for check ins instead of 300 for combined zone 5 exercises
  22. While on the topic of exercises being logged. It's been made clear that Vitality won't accept 3 zone 5 exercises at 10 minutes to meet their 30 minutes requirement. I actually don't know what their motivation is for refusing this. I'm finding that I have to incorrectly record my exercises just to log the points. Like instead of doing a 20 jog, 10 cardio and 10 cardio, I just record the entire 40 minutes as a jog. It is ruining the metrics all for the sake of ticking a stupid box. Has anyone thought of a workaround for this?
  23. Do you were glasses for debris at the same time as the buffs? If yes, how do you deal with fogging glasses from buffs?
  24. That is an interesting comparison! I've heard the same rumours and what not about wrist HR, but I'm of the opinion that a reliable unit is okay for anyone that wants to track wrist HR and isn't Chris Froome or going to space. Just wondering here, but did the suunto chest strap report to the garmin watch? If not, perhaps they have different stride lengths recorded? Or maybe suunto metrics reeds strides differentl and are losing out/garmin is gaining 1cm per stride?
  25. Are you trolling or serious? You touch something with your bare hands, obviously... As for OP's post, I know it is a year later, but I'm sorry to hear of the struggles you're going through for what should've been swift justice. I sincerely hope you can come in contact with the right people that have the skills needed to move this forward in this country. your perseverence is commendable, A Oppel.
