  1. I'm glad you're making good progress!
  2. Thanx! I'll need to see which of these functions I'll actually use/miss if I don't have them
  3. I've been looking at getting a Fenix for a while now, but after playing with a 735, I think I prefer the smaller/lighter 735. Anyone with experience with both? As far as I can tell the only major difference is the altimeter?
  4. Having the unit further up the wrist would probably irritate me more than using a chest strap during exercise; but I like the idea of having access to HR monitoring during/after sleep
  5. I agree. I can't explain why, but it also feels like the race has lost some it's 'charm'. I'll still always do the race, but it feels like any other event to me
  6. Surgery is really the only long term solution. The only conservative approach that (kind of) works is limiting training intensity/volume - but that defeats the purpose. Have a proper assessment (including pressure assessments/Doppler ultrasound) to confirm the compartments. Recovery is slow, but it should be
  7. I'm (provisionally) in, I just need to still convince the SO, as its over Easter weekend
  8. Must agree with Miles. If you raised it yourself you know what you get
  9. I've posted this before, but if we skip the Argus for 2 years, it would buy us 10 days in Mauritius - all included
  10. What a view!
  11. Around 6 1/2 hours Well, when I wanted to ride in the morning it was still raining here, and the predictions didn't look promising, so I just kept gping
  12. I went nowhere fast... Did 200km on the IDT
  13. I think it makes such a difference with the local community if they see that you are trying and making an effort to learn Spanish. I'm always looking forward to your updates, and glad everything seems on track again
  14. Saw this on EWN now... http://m.ewn.co.za/2016/11/10/gp-floods-bridge-collapses-on-r55-in-kyalami
  15. That was said on the traffic report on 702 as well... Interesting times ahead
  16. I have serious FOMO with all the nice races over the last couple of weeks. I'll need to get back into the running again properly next year...
  17. Thanx! Thought that looked like the Jukskei
  18. Nice! Mind sharing the location/route?
  19. Also like #4, otherwise something simple like 'ultra running', or 'endurance running'
  20. Keep an eye on the classifieds, there will be LOADS of entries for sale closer to the time. You could also look at riding for a charity, but those will cost more
  21. I rode with my SO yesterday, but climbed hekpoort on my own and waited for her at the water point at the top of the climb.By the time I got there there was no water, so filled my bottle with poweraid for her. By the time she got there (7' later) there were nothing left but koeksisters, and a couple of bottles of coke, which was running out fast. Luckily I could give her my fresh bottle. I feel sorry for the regular slower (last 1/2 of the field), as this seems to be a general trend. I'm very disappointed, she will prabably skip this race in the future.
