  1. I cannot stand this guy, but.. His running challenge was to beat his mate. His mate had a PB of 1.13, and it was estimated that he would do a 1.15. Thats where the 1.15 time came in. He’s mate didn’t pitch for the race, so his 1.30 is still a win
  2. O... My post was also related to the strap
  3. The times I’ve experienced this has been linked to electricity/appliances. During a training session, high voltage power lines in the vicinity can cause these spikes. I’ve also seen it happen when I get too close to an induction cooktop. Perhaps you got something similar while ironing that shirt...
  4. Has anyone got vitality points for CPR? I did my BLS/ALS/PALS (which includes CPR) some time ago, but have not received points yet. The website indicates that points are allocated automatically via the SA Resus Council. Anyone know of a way to claim the points manually?
  5. Now, if that was the MTB version...
  6. That explains it... looks like I’m just too slow
  7. Weird. Price was R2990, then suddenly changed to R9990
  8. Thank you. Their HR based targets/times are very difficult for me to achieve; but I don't want to turn this into a discussion around the merits of '220-age' again... I guess I'll just have to become more clever in my approach to try and get annual points.
  9. I get the difference between the weekly and yearly points. My issue is that I have apparently reached the limit for the specific HR range workouts. Those workouts would have given me 5 sessions x200 points per week (HR monitor), but without the HR monitor (only swiping at the gym), I would at least get 5 x100 points per week. Now I get nothing. I would have just though that Discovery would at least allocate points automatically in the lesser category if one has already reached the limits for the higher categories.
  10. Thank you for the feedback. I find that really silly. Now I will need to actually do less activity (only scan in at the gym, and not record any exercise) to increase my overall points. I need a couple of thousand points to reach gold again, but currently only get 300 points once a week for a long session.
  11. Can one of the clever people please help me understand my point allocation... I understand that I reached limits for certain types of activities (month/year limit), and that points will be allocated to the higher points activity for the day. As I understand it (from the attached points monitor for 16/06: - Steps will be superseded by other HR-based activity (60-69%), for which I have reached my limit. - Why don't I then receive the lower value activity for the day? (E.g. Gym visits) Currently I only get points for: - >60min above 70% HR - Gym visits (if I do not record any other 'higher' activity for the day). Surely if I have reached the limits for the higher points category, the lower category should automatically apply?
  12. Although I do agree, to an extent, that testing will always lag behind new drugs; it is often not the issue. In ZA, there are well known drugs that SAIDS and WADA simply don’t test for, as its too expensive. At least in some local cycling circles, this is known and discussed. So if one wants to dope, do so with substances that are too expensive to run in random tests. For athletes with a passport, its somewhat of a different story.
  13. It is often not a case of not knowing what to test for, but rather not having the funding to test for a broad range of substances. They tend to test for specific metabolites, some (relevant) substances, and masking agents
  14. Indeed. Like several other brands - bring out a new model, but instead of it replacing anything, call it a ‘new class’, increase the price, and have both on the market.
