    Yesterday At Bottelary... it was a beau morning but became pretty hot after 10am...

    Selling the whole thing, or just the frame? Send me a private message regarding price? It is an Xlarge?
  3. xCorWin
    Im afraid so yes!

    Not helping the brain much there, but thanks for pointing that out

    Yeh, Carbon The thing I cant afford When i bought in Oct they said i could wait for Dec... but it was just a bit out of the price range. Still is. Very happy with the 2015 OneTen29 that I got in Oct. Still dont know where the 'graphite' came from... must be the holiday spirit. The brain is shutting down.

    I hear the new Graphite frames are hitting the shelves soon (overdue). If anyone is upgrading, Id love to buy an Xlarge OneTen29 frame. contact me corw@pbt.co.za if you are going to upgrade in Jan 2016. Would love to get my hands on one.

    Until recently, researchers beleived nobody could directly oxidise fat for exercise at rates higher than 1g/min... but they got some guys into the lab that has been racing low carb for years, and some of them can oxidize fat directly at much higher rates than was previously beleived to be possible. So.... IF your muscles can oxidize fat at that high rate, you may never get to the point where your muscles are going to need glycogen. For me, Im trying to figure out over time whether these people are just lucky genetically, or whether one's body can adapt over long periods to become more and more 'apt' at oxidising fat directly. Ive not been to a metabolic chamber to be tested, so i have no idea where I am on the scale... i have found that i needed to eat some carbs (lower gi stuff like sweet potato), recently - but that became necessary only after about 14 hours of exercise (we were attempting an everesting at the time). I dont know where my cross-over point is. Wonder how best to test that. Any clues? I dont race to win, so im not the high performance guy looking to squeese the last few watts at high heart rates - and I guess those people are the ones that remain sceptical about racing 'low' even thought they may have been training 'low'. The whole debate remains a fascinating area of personal experimentation. Im much more capable from an endurance point of view now than I was 5 years ago. But Im also lighter and fitter - so these things all inter-relate. Regards --Cor Google a bit and found this: http://www.ultrarunning.com/features/health-and-nutrition/the-emerging-science-on-fat-adaptation/ I saw something similar on youtube video where jeff volek talks about it, but cant find that link now...

    Yeah, Id have thought they should keep the momentum going and 'splash' the whole thing... but it fizzled out completely.

    One would think by now they would have made winner announcements on http://www.isuzutruckschallenge.co.za/ But nothing there... (that I can see)
  11. xCorWin
    Totally agree! It was fun to work towards it. And i wish the winners well in the race! (And I hope the organisers also learnt something about the magic of communication in the process)

    To get rid of our frustrations we went up and down Malanshoogte 17 times today for a 2000+m climb. If we can do that 4 more times we might get close to the Everesting challenge. Maybe one day when I big

    Based on the info we got here we all expect (and monitored our inboxes accordingly) some action on Friday! Eish. Anyway - hope the lucky fish(es) appreciate that they won and have an awesome ride!
  14. xCorWin
    Yeh, sure But they should know someone who knows someone who is here... since it was marketted from here (it was not marketted via strava, otherwise youd have had 1000s of overseas people signing up). Anyway - this is all just conversation to while away the time! Enjoy your weekend! Go play outside!
  15. xCorWin
    So of everyone who has maybe been emailed not a single one can just tell us here that they received an email? I think it is more likely that they have not done the draw yet...
  16. xCorWin
    ME TOO! But it had nothing to do with the challenge....
  17. xCorWin
    My riding partner and I both managed to get the challenge done, so we have upped our chances...
  18. xCorWin
    They should just do the draw now... my head is starting to hurt...
  19. xCorWin
    Ha ha... i think we each just have a 50/50 chance! Youre either going to get an entry or not!
  20. xCorWin
    And Murphie's law says the more we talk about it the less our chances become...
  21. xCorWin
    Actually... its 1/124 + 1/123 + 1/122 + 1/121?
  22. xCorWin
    Its more like 4 chances each 1/124.... not quite the same as 1/31.... But no worries... we all hold thumbs..
  23. xCorWin
    Hey, when do they do the draw?
  24. xCorWin
    It is picking up speed... I guess it is 'min dae', but probably everyone on that list (and even more) potentially can make it to all 14 badges... Good luck in the draw everybody!
  25. xCorWin
    Im in... What is the latest stats on the numbers? --Cor
