    That is the main reason why I still use my XT 920 At least I can see what is going on on the watch without robbing a bank to afford a new Garmin.

    I am doing this so long that luckily Perm Radio 5 did not have a cool logo to tat when I started out.

    i travel daily by car and quite often longer distances.went down to mosselbay and pe 2 or 3 times the last month or two.apart from the speedcop sitting behind a bush manning his traffic camera i did not see one speedcop anywhere on the roads. my opinion is that this is just a money making exercise with nothing to do to keep the roads safer.

    watched it last night.that armstrong girl is a piece of work.hell have no fury like a woman scorned.for the rest of the people there are no winners in a situation like this. .

    they tested vo2 max LT1 LT2 etc including some interesting other stuff eg percetage oxegen consumption per breath etc.i was interested in that as i am a smoker and wanted to see what the impact of that was but that is a different story for another forum.the short answer is they tested quite a bit more than the normal vo2 max lt1 lt2 things.i only train with a hr monitor so it is good for me to structure my training around those numbers.

    i did bike and run tests on seperate days at Stellenbosch Fisiology lab basicly to determine hr training zones.I have followed the same testing protocol at home to find MY hr zones for both cycling and running.they were a bit cheaper than SSI and i am still using their formulas ie persentage of tests to determine my garmin hr training zones.

    Give it a TRI

    reteid replied to Beesrib's topic in Multisport

    a wetsuite used for triathlon and for surfing are not the same thing.water in mossel bay normally makes it a wetsuite optional swim.if i were you i would rather swim without a surf wetsuite than with one but the best would be to either rent or buy a second hand one.many tri wetsuites will be floating around for sale after durban 70.3 as a lot of athletes only do it as a bucket list.my 2 cents worth

    as to your question yes i always cycle with my pepperspray.i also run with it.i think part of the problem is that there are just more and bigger cars on the road and then the road becomes smaller for more vulnerable users.but no i do not have a solution as to how to change the behaviour of people and that includes drivers of vehicles and cyclists. i hope you heal well.

    the only mantra i have when cycling on the road is rather be a living dog than a dead lion irrespective of who is in the right or who is in the wrong. p= mv if i recall correctly and from that me thinks i will always come second even if i was not in the wrong.

    The only benefit what i can see ok hear is that i know when a person is sitting in the draftzone during a non draft tri. other than that you can just as well stick a playing card on your frame and let it make a noise against the spokes.

    wonder where he stole the shoes as well

    I have started easy run walk on the trails in Paarl and more spec Paarl mountain. I normally run in Asics novablast 4 on the road , but they are a bit slippery on the loose gravel. Any suggestions to look at a very very much intro shoe? and not breaking the bank if the trail running is perhaps not for me. I wear 2 e wide shoes
