  1. If anyone spot an Asian-looking Malaysian on a rented Specialized in Jonkershoek today - his name is Mark and a good friend from here in KL. Please make him feel very welcome / have a chat with him / give him directions. Wish I was there...
  2. Ron (and Adam this time) are on their way to the Women's World Cup in NZ. Last night they gave a talk in the local "Out of Africa" here - was pretty good talk. (and quite cool to touch the whistle 😊) Joined them (as well as Rex who cycle the entire Malaysia with them) on Sunday for the ride into KL. The 3 below in the photo. Pretty fit guys 👌
  3. This is so true. My right side breathing that I used as a child when fooling around in the pool/sea (never did swim as a sport) is so much worst than my left that I had to learn in the last 5 years. I cant help myself/fix it to the same level as the left.
  4. A great sport. I was in your position as well. What worked for me: Have someone record you, review it & then hours of this channel's videos https://www.youtube.com/c/EffortlessSwimming A subscription might be worth it. Edit: Online Training Subscription here - https://effortlessswimming.com/
  5. I agree, why even have it there? If it was for safety, then why remove it... surely safety would not reduced in exchange for nice video/photos right? That said, what a mamparra not to make sure that you know what is coming.
  6. Exactly the same feeling here. Really hope he make Paris and get the record. At the same time (and I know Cav have somewhat more expertise in the sprinting domain than me), but one bit of advice - dont miss out on the record - only because you crossed the line with your hands in the air (like you did twice now in a week) while someone with a bike-throw takes the win and record away from you. Please, oh please, celebrate after you actually had already won. Only because I want you to have the record.
  7. Another note: be warned that Tacx did not switch of the license servers, only re-activation is disabled - they would happily keep them up and running, just to disable your license file when the software connects to them for some reason and the disagree. Back up your license files! The warning in Q1 on this site to set up firewall rules that block external communication are valuable. http://w47.narod.ru/tts4.html#01 My annual associated Google license expired and I had to went trough the process of taking the software in permanent demo mode as described on the above site. It works. I must say, spending a couple of hours sorting out this shite only result in a deep despise for the brand. Sure walk away after so many years, but at least release a final unlicensed version.

    You can also work out speed differential if a bike length is made up in 3-4 sec. (~1.8km/h right? Happy to be corrected) Combine that with a sub 10mm margin of victory, camera even before the white line etc etc Loads of if and buts. I'm still taking a moment But very happy for the winner, could not happen to a more worthy guy

    That is also why you have the horizontal green bar (from the Radler mint leaves) over the entire photo in the background. Once you notice where that mint leaves are compared to the black line in the middle of the wide white paint, you have to take a moment...
  11. Ditto, I guess that's why both get it. Pilatus/stretch is the answer. It might take me 5 minutes on a bad day before I get touchdown
  12. I also get it, but find it easy to manage with stretching: a) Touch your toes with fingers. Wait a minute or so until that gets comfortable, then touch your left big toe with your right hand etc. You need to play a bit with feet spacing (20-30cm) and leg position until you feel that thing talk to you. b) Any ITB stretch EDIT: and a good massage is magic with it
  13. haha - literally just a forum search: https://community.bikehub.co.za/index.php?app=core&module=search&do=search&fromMainBar=1 let me just say - after all these years I still don't understand how the search cant find words that I know for a fact was posted last week. User error I know....

    Yes, browser work for me here in KL Eurosport app require a VPN app + something like FakeGpsFree to spooth your location in that country as well Eurosport browser only require a VPN
  18. Use the automated/technology options mention here to alert the dot watchers. E.g. when a risky turn is approached, drastic changes avg speed etc. The human can then evaluate the situation. I'm also willing to watch a dot - I'm in different time zone so can take a night shift etc. Will send an email.

    Sailing

    There is a recent school leaver in my family that are looking to do the RYA yacht-master offshore course. I might contribute to it. Questions: Any honest comments on that as career during Covid 19? Are people actually getting jobs at this stage. I'm unsure how I feel about it - he is bright enough to do any university course he wants, but this is what he wants to do... (I'm also somewhat jealous about it at the same time. It look awesome)
  20. We need a pic of that most dominate male in the house
  21. Never with male guppies. Only females. Keep an eye for disease/parasites. Even do a treatment by default maybe - Jumping can be triggered by attempting to scratch themselves against things in attempt to get rid of the parasites.
  22. I will pay that money for a carbon bike with no creaking pressfit BB
