  1. I agree with you on the first point, but I highly doubt that they would be involved in the event planning etc. They must have a safety officer, and medical officer; and those would have had to submit a detailed event plan, including refreshment station details, and contingencies to SAPS and the JOC.
  2. There are a couple of options: - Report to ASA. - Report to the National SAPS commissioner responsible for risk management for sport events. This will then be recorded against the event, and the organisers will have to include details on how to mitigate for future events. - Report to the safety officer/medical officer to report it to the JOC. (Same effect as above).
  3. Good luck to all the Om Die Dam guys tomorrow!
  4. I agree with this, especially for the those that tends to naturally drink a lot. I am typically on the other side, and am always somewhat dehydrated at the end of an event/training session. If one manages what one drinks, like typical sports drink/Coke; those are typically isotonic or near isotonic and would generally not lead to hyponatremia. If one has a propensity for water instead, I would look at some sort of electrolyte during long events
  5. There used to be a believe that the salt that is lost in sweat needs to be replaced, and there was a strong push for salt tablets/ supplementation. Its now believed that the salt lost in sweat is typically excess salts (similar to that lost in urine), and does not need to be replaced directly. I tend to use electrolyte replacement (re-hydrate or similar) only when I've been sick; or very seldom after a very long training session.
  6. For those tendon issues, Vit A and E have shown sognificant effects on tendon matrix synthesis, strengthening the tendon and decreasing healing times Vit E has also shown promise in tendons effected by anti-biotics. Vit C has a significant indirect effect on tendon healing and overall tendon health. I would look at supplementing with at least vit A and E
  7. What difference does it make?
  8. Some background: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4080593/#!po=0.925926
  9. Hacc, The muscle cramps/pain is most likely due to connective tissue damage within the calves. Tavanic (Levoflaxin) is part of the class of problematic antibiotics wrt tendons. There are no real return to sport guidelines following quinolones. Most tendon degredation and/or ruptures occur within the first 7 days. Feom there the risk onry start decreasing after about a month, with risk persisting to 6months, and sometimes a bit longer. Most patients present with symptoms (tendon pain) before failure, so you could judge your return to running based on pain, but there are those with no pain before rupture. I’d suggest at least another 10days, then take it from there. Maybe start with some cycling. Don’t do speed/hills for a couple of months. Speak to your Doc.
  10. If the aim is a marathon, I’d rather get my long run in...
  11. I would suggest that you don’t. PF can very easily become chronic. Hoe long have you had it? What started it? I’ve had PF on and off now for about 5 years, but mine started from stepping on an object barefoot
  12. Yes. No direct interference between BT and Ant+
  13. It depends on your BTLE version, and somewhat on the device. BTLE 4.1 can connect with 7 devices at once. Ant+ (USB2 or newer) can connect with 8 devices at once.
  14. The areas with filler has: carbon, filler, clear cote. It looks like your frame has black paintbin the area between the filler and clear. I would just sand progressively until you have a smooth transition from the carbon sections (if that makes sense). As long as you are mindful that there is filler (as you are), and din’t try and ‘find’ carbon, you will be fine.
  15. Metal/carbon/etc. reflects the RFiD signal, thats why they indicate not putting it on the fork. But a lot of riders do, with no ill effect. They have multiple scanners with multiple mats, so you’ll get signal bounce from multiple points, and should not have any issues.
  16. It depends on the resin used, but it will likely degrade the resin.
  17. I like that frame, and think it will look nice when done. It seems there are some areas with fillers around the BB and head tube areas (where its painted black, and you can’t see the carbon pattern). Will you just repaint these areas?
  18. I agree with this, jist be careful at areas where joints have fillers. The fillers tend to be much softer than the carbon
  19. Unless you are using a powered sander, using a fine grit sandpaper, I cannot see how one can go through several ‘layers’ of carbon without realising it
  20. Just keep in mind that most frames, especially the older designs have loads of fillers. Typically around the joints at the BB, Headset, etc. You won’t be able to get a full exposed carbon look. As you sand away the paint in these areas you’ll end up at the black fillers. You could have the centre sections of each tube exposed carbon, abd then repaint the joints. Don’t worry too much about going into the carbon, you will see and feel the difference. Also note that the older resins used are not UV stable, and if not protected by a UV protective layer will degrade and yellow over time with loads of sun exposure. There are many waxed that are UV protective, so not a big deal.
  21. They always seen to do these interviews on the most inappropriate times. Even watching sport has now changed to a political show
  22. ... as it should be
  23. Strava does link to CM, and that was my suggestion as well; but seems OP is strongly averse to Strava
  24. I’m also not a strava fan, and almost never even open the app. But I do use it as a go-between for my data. I’m just trying to find a simple way to sort your problem
  25. Can you not link as follows: Garmin Connect > Strava > CM?
