    My bad. I read the first post as that he thinks the reason for the time delay is because of the wheel issue.

    One of the fundamentals of insurance is that you have to have an insurable interest. Your friends wheels do not fall under this category. As to the wheels your wheels did not incur any damage and as such will not be replaced or paid out. If you were underinsured ie got the benefit of paying a lesser premium, you will be paid out a percentage. I am not sure as to the wording of your insurance contract and say the above from the perspective of general rules of insurance. It is normally not in your best interest to go the legal route for the difference. Just my 2 cents worth.

    Many a year ago in Criminal Law class when discussing the aims of punishment the following sentence stuck with me."sekere mense is net inherent onrehabiliteerbaar boos." This guy reminded me of this.

    I feel for Belinda and all the others that got scammed. If I were you Belinda I would accept the money without prejudice and the payment to be made unconditionally and irrevocably. You will then have your money with the option to still pursue whatever avenue you choose. If they are not prepared to make payment on those terms they are not coming to the party with clean hands. Just my 2 cents worth. I wish you wisdom and kindness in making YOUR decision. As my principal used to say: a good settlement is where neither of the parties are happy.

    I have run the ultra a few times during the late 80's and early 90's. As I had nothing to do on the days of the expo I had a daytrip from Paarl just to feel the vibe again. All i can say is that a fish rots from the head. Untill such time as the current board is no longer I will not do the race again. It is a beautifull race sort of screwed up by the board.Pretty much how I currently view our country.I was thinking of doing it with my son , but alas things must first change at the top before I make that journey again.

    I would start with correctly determining what the correct hr zones are FOR HER. Secondly get something that measures the heartrate accurately ie a chest strap. Set up the zones correctly and work from there. Until such time as you know you have set up the zones correctly and then measure it accurately it is a futile exercise in my view and it is then better to work on RPE.

    Give it a TRI

    I spent 9 hours on the back of the motorbike and it is always interesting to see how many people on full tri bikes sitting upright as they are just to tired to be in the bars. Riding next to the pros they stay in the bars for most of the time. That is why they are pros. Well done on your effort on a proper difficult day.

    A lady was sexually assaulted on Paarlberg last Saturday just after 07:00. She was hiking/running. A suspect was later arrested.

    my old trusty 920 xt buttons decided to go on a loop sequence.tried everything no joy.courierd to garmin sa and then started to enquire.3 weeks later i get an email saying the button is stuck but they can give me a replacement unit at ballpark R9000. I mailed if there are cheaper options and followed up repeatedly.It is now 9 weeks with no feedback.i bought a second hand 920 xt in the meantime for R 1500 and will use it till it dies. I have mailed again today as to what prize for a certain model.Short answer for me is that since they moved from the M5 i have not had joy from Garmin.

    226 refers to IM distance in km so it is their upper end garment. Orca apparel is good quality ,but to each his own as the most important part is comfort. What works for one person does not always work for the other.

    I think once you have sold an item it is for the new owner to do with as he pleases.

    I have been on the motorbike on the bike route the last 2 years of this event. The number of people having aero bars and sitting upright is extremely high. If you go the aero bar route make sure you are comfortable sitting in the bars.
