  1. Hey cool to see Geno, Should be fun 3 hours of riding and looking forward.
  2. Hijack on OMG, LOFL Hijack off
  3. Who did you guys go with? Daytrippers
  4. Starting it H - 6:52, not too shabby for Tri athlete and MTB'r on my first Argus. Hoping like hell I can pick up good bunch to challenge the sub 3 weather permitting. Will have to wait and see but no complaints at all as I am quite new to Road. Good luck too all. PS: I saw someone say that the "fast one" might be included as a seeding ???
  5. Good Review at MTBR - http://reviews.mtbr.com/blog/category/lights-shootout/ I run the Dinotte 600 system and it is just fine and as you will see you do not pay and arm and a leg to get them. I have 2 x lights and they work just fine as a bike mount and a helmet mount system. Good reviews and I like them my 2cents
  6. From the training you do to the actual race day fueling strategy is going to be "non standard" I did my last year on game and jelly babies just to prove a point. Best advice I can give is to stay in zone 2 and e during the race and do not forget to eat. You have to train for this as well. Doing my 4th next year and still worried so just keep on training as much as you can and make sure to recover well between rides. You still have 14 weeks left so perhaps use the Polar 12 week program and make sure to taper well. You need an entry level wetsuit and no you do not need the best. For your bike you need clip ons if you can find some Hope this helps a bit. PS: Read the 10 common mistakes on the IM webpage as they are so true.
  7. Our CB became our life lines. Tools / food / milk salve / water and some other stuff as well.
  8. In 2009 we got real hot days and the CB saved our butts. I cannot imagine how a person could do this with only 2 bottles? Mayby just me but would seriously consider finding a way to do CB? Just my 2cents worth
  9. Had only but good service myself. Got Ultegra 6601 cranks with BB after VAT for R1700 and they retailed in SA for R4300 excl BB. Waited 5 working days on free del and everythig was fine. Happy with CRC hope the local LBS's come up with some sort of answer to this as they too provide a service as well.
  10. Did Babbas the first time round also skipped dinner the night before and also did not do bfast. Seems like a pattern . Finished lap 1 feeling great BUT all knows Babbas comes back in round 2 to haunt you. I remeber only seing my arms and nothing else also felt like crying and wanted to go sleep. Some dude saw me and chased a couple of gu's down my face. Limped back to the start. Eish.
  11. I ran 2 in front and 2.4 in the back in Harkerville, Knysna yesterday and felt good. I recon this is what I will be riding in Atta next weekend. Lots of real tough sections with some real rock gardens in the first 40km if my memory serves me well.
  12. Dude with such an impressive CV I am sure people must be lining up to sponsor you then. Good luck
