  1. True as well. It was severely hot, and my friends (who had the better seeding) also told me that it was safer, they had to stop halfway up the hill to rest. Under the only tree in the area apparently. Thanks again for all the information and opinions. I am aspiring to get better seeding from next year onwards, as I am tired of being followed by sweeper vehicles...
  2. I agree on this point. What are your opinions on the riders that are left on the course at this time? Do you guys feel that we should get some form of recompense for the race, or just be happy that the race is over and get on the "Bus of Shame". Personally I felt done in as I had been pacing myself the whole race to make sure I would have legs left for the last 10km, only to be denied.
  3. Thanks for the info, guys. The temparature recorded while we were waiting for the bus was around 37 deg. I was hoping that there was at least an official statement somewhere in the cloud, but nothing so far. Next year will have to try to not too spend so much time taking in the aroma around the sewage works, or looking at wilted grass on the Stein City Rollercoaster...
  4. Hi guys. Has anybody found any details on the race stop at Waterpoint 3 on the 55km route this year? We arrived there at around 12:15, and were all stopped from continuing the race. There was some indication that the medical team stopped the race due to the heat, but we were also told during the commute back to the venue (on the "wagon of shame" an hour later...) that we missed the cut-off time for waterpoint 3. I would just like some clarity, as there was no mention of any cut-off times on the website or final instructions. I also mailed the race office, have had no reply from them. Just for info, I started in Batch A8, 8:45, so we were on the course for around 3 hours 30 min when we were stopped. Does anybody have any helpful information?
