  1. I have not read all the previous post. But for those of you looking to start Zwifting I recently got the Apple TV 4k and works effortlessly. For under R3000 for the 32gb version and everything works seemlessly.
  2. For IM the recovery weeks is still plenty of efforts and lots of time, instead of a 30k long run you still end up doing a 15k easy run. 6hr LSD bike could still become an 2 hr easy bike and in the end an recovery week can still be 10-15+ hours. Might vary to indivduals and coach... but IM is a long day and its best to be prepared for it
  3. And keep up you did! On topic: cyclesure has an option to insure 2 bikes for 1 user, but the price drop is not really worth it.
  4. Excellent service and my helmet showed up on my doorstep today...exactly as expected. Sorry to hear about the other hubbers experience.
  5. Ordered some sunglasses on sale and was absolutely blown away when they were on my doorstep the next morning! Ordered a helmet today and I guess I will have mail tomorrow again. My experience with ASG over the years have been only exceptional!!
  6. Oh man... just came back from a little cruise on the TT machine(still sitting in my trisuit on the couch) and mother of Mary that was sooooo much fun- Whatever my earlier recomendations were, scrap it- everyone needs to have TT bike!!! (If you saw my current smile/grin you would understand) Needless to say; she ready for the Cape Ultra on the weekend!
  7. I came back to racing after some time focusing on Triathlons and just entred for the race and emailed the PPA describing my riding and asking for a temporary seeding- this was then used to get my actual seeding... Ask and though might receive.
  8. I am actively using all the herbalife products, from the shakes all the way through etc. The CR7 is like glorified fly pee... useless in my opinion( it ight help if you do a short cardio session or maybe as a slight electrolite replecment for after- I sometimes use it with a rehidrate and that helps) What you actually need is the Prolong - carb based drink, 4/5 scoops a bottle for those 1+ hr rides. Prolong etc is an fatastic product and I actively use it while training and have done a 10:40 Ironman with it. I would normally train with prolong 4/5 scoops per bottle and a small protein bar for every hour, when summer is getting hot I will add a rehidrate to each of those bottles as well. For ironman I double the strength to 8 scoops per bottle+rehidrate(to dilute it with water on course) 1 protein bar per hour and add a gel per hour. Rebuild endurance and Rebuild strengh as a recovery drink. If you want more info please feel free to ask me
  9. And then add 3 drops of blood from a virgin and whallah. Sounds like a cheatcode move for 90's PC games
  10. Same thoughts here- £1499 then this a really nice machine. Then you can run a indoor pain cave a save your normal bike. Considering the current wattbikes are for sale at around R50k (which is more than the new model price just converted)
  11. Yes 4 bikes, have been struggling to sell my very nice previous road bike. But will keep the 2x Canyons and MTB - like they say the 1 who dies with the most toys win! Anyway back to the topic... as for the TT bike the setup is very important hence why the upgraded bits and some longer Aero extensions. Will post a pic when she is done.
  12. Since its picture day. The last pic is how she looked- got some new red etap makeup boxes today and busy getting her ready for the new season.... watch this space for when she is ready to go dancing!!! I am looking for a clincher disc as the final finish touch if someone has one laying around?!
  13. So basically if you want to(and can) go fast then do it, otherwise probably not. And just for some jokes, but there is a fairly big diffrence between a TT and a Tri setup as well
  14. Plenty of very decent second hand TT bikes on this hub.... I have gone TT and it is amazing and looks cool and makes the run easier and costs some Zandellas. BUT if you are not at least an average to good cyclist the very aggresive setup could make it worse, TT bikes weigh a TON (I was shocked when I got a top of the range and struggled to lift it). So make sure you can ride otherwise do a 70.3 or your 1st full IM with the clip on bars. Personally the bike helped me a lot but the most time gains for me to make is on the run so really working on it (no need to pay R100k for a TT bike and run 2hr more than the rest of your podium compeditors. Same with the swim. Some food for thought- I am planning to ditch the TT bike for the 70.3 in East london because of the climbing profile.
