    Simple rules to follow.. 5l = Races that are supported along the way (ie: Cape Town Ultra - tons of water points, will carry the bare necessities, less food, min. liquids) 12l = Races that have minimal or no support (ie: Mnweni - completely on your own, need to carry thermals, all food etc)

    If you can still find them, then grab a pair of First Ascent Magnitude Shorts. Best in the business. Otherwise grab their new X-Trail tights. http://www.firstascent.co.za/shop/mens-x-trail-short-tights/

    45% duties on clothing. Always work on a total of around 67% of total commercial value (as VAT is never just 14%... Need to factor in other charges). The clearing / disbursement fee most likely bumped the total charge up. What was the initial shipping charge? A few courier companies will advertise a lower shipping charge but will nail you when the goods have landed / cleared.

    They were running updates today. May need a few resets before things are back up properly.

    Just picked up the 661 Repeater from Dial'd. Light and comfortable! Would be a real contender in this lineup.

    The Sweat Shop is great if you want some expert advice. Local site is down at the moment but it's worth going down to their shop at Fourways Crossing.

    Just got the Ambit 2 S (incl. HR) off Cleaver Training. $249 for the watch, $40 express shipping. Wrist watches are duty free so only 14% VAT. Should come to around R3850. Kalahari is the closest as they selling the graphite unit for R4500. Took it over the Ambit 2 as I really don't need the few extra features. Compare : http://www.suunto.com/sports-watch-collections/Suunto-Ambit-Collection/ Some other great specials on at Cleaver Training. http://www.clevertraining.com/c-146-gps-watches.aspx

    Have a pair of Salomon S-Lab Fellcross. Great for technical trails. Run both on and off road with them (always a mix of both) and they serve me well. However, they may take some getting use to as they are pretty 'firm' in the beginning. Brother has the Sense Pro and he is more than happy with them too. He is mostly on the road (tri-athlete). http://www.salomon.com/za/product/s-lab-fellcross-2.html http://www.salomon.com/za/product/sense-pro.html
