    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.

    I have tried the SiSu gel ,but for me the consistency was too gooye and I struggled to get it down.Had to use it with quite a lot of water to go down smoothly. The maurten gels are pricey ,but you definately get what you paid for if you can get through the funny consistency.

    I guess I am a few models behind. Still using my red and white 920 xt and it tells me everything I need and battery still gets me through IM. I realy realy hope it does not die anytime soon.

    Good luck to all running this weekend.Travel safe and remember this is your hobby. Do it in such a way that you can do it again.

    The current form of Froome and for some time now is that of a boxer fighting past his prime and tarnishing his legacy.

    There are many more questions and opinions on this matter.However it is extremely difficult to discuss a matter so complex in not only human nature but also in legal nature on a forum like this.I do think that CSA did the right thing. The administrative side of the law and the criminal side and the possible civil actions that might flow from this scenario are endless.I do feel for the victims(the minors) in this case and I hope they will find peace in one or other way. I make the above observation from a legal perspective having practiced criminal law after being a prosecutor in the childrens court for nearly 30 years.

    do you need to wash it down with water? are you also going to use their fuel in scoops in a bottle?

    For me it is more the after the fact cover up that upsets me wrt the 2 oceans thing.

    the ugly bike went quite fast.

    It depends how deep the scratches are. I have used toothpaste previously to remove scratches from garmin face when I swam into lane ropes at pool.Your other option would be to take it to a spectacle shop and see if they can get it out as they sometimes remove scratches and swirls from reading and sunglasses. Hope you get right.

    I have learned the hard way that you have to train your gut to accept and distribute the amount of carb you can take. Start with small amounts and gradualy increase.You will find the tipping point between performing and standing bent over in bushes or looking for the nearest loo. This should all be done during training and then adjusted to race conditions.Train your gut

    I am still riding my titan 29 ht from 12 years back.I am also still riding my fuji sl team edition of 17 years ago. I have replaced tyres chains casettes etc but the basic bike is still the same. I sort of made up my mind that we were heading for trouble once you could finance your bike. I always thought and still do that if you have to finance your bike, the bike you bought was too expensive. But each to his/her own.
