  1. Also doing the sprint with a few friends.
  2. Great way to differentiate the two. Well said.
  3. How is this possible though. If you look at her stats she is pretty consistent over the last year. So she cycles 360km a day at avg of 30km/h. So 12h of cycling every day? not even pros cycle that much....little weird
  4. I bought an Amped battery at the Sani2C a while ago, and yes they charge them. Unfortunately at that stage I had a Garmin which didn't want to charge on the battery. They did however have a little container thing there which had about 30 plugs that you could pay lets say R20 and have your stuff charged for 4h. This did help a lot of people. Not sure what event you are doing.
  5. Was also thinking the same thing while reading the forum.
  6. Nice race all-and-all. Have done it for the last 4 years and there are ALWAYS the same issues. Not sure it will ever change. Guys drifting over the white line at the back of Suikerbos, Potholes(actually only saw one or two this year), cones in the road, joining the slower riders at the end of the race and the two 90deg turns leading into the finish. Not a great race to actually race if you ask me, but a lekker day out none the less.
  7. whahahahaha ok ok CRAMP, sjoe should have seen a doc rather then I guess.
  8. Had a friend who use to crap really badly regardless of what he did. He eventually started taking cramp-block a few days before and this seemed to help.
  9. I bough a Blue Smooth when I started, still have it and use it quite often. And even if you buy new they are well prices in comparison.
  10. Ya 90 degree turns at the bottom of a downhill it's that great. So I second that.
  11. Generally these types of tests you do on a trainer, start at 24kk/h then increase by 2km/h every minute. If you look at your hr graph it should show a nice steady increase until you hit your absolute max. I've done this test a few times and always get around 180 max. Max in a race sprint was 184...so pretty close.
  12. Lots of sense spoken here. To often see people sitting in the bunch the whole day and even finishing just there. That's not much fun for little Harpo.
  13. 80% easy...damnnnn. If I go anywhere close to 80% I feel like I want to die if I haven't eaten anything. Early morning sessions under an hour I'm ok but anything over that or any session that requires me up my HR, I need fuel. Guess this will differ from person to person though.
  14. Even if they don't use the perm number system, why can't they allow on the day entries like 95% of other sports? MTB , Triathlons , Running, Swimming....to name a few.
