I would highly recommend Cyclefit. I have done 3 fittings with them in the past. Cycle Fit (Pty) Ltd 179 Beyers Naude Drive, 1st Floor Silhouette House, Northcliff, JHB Office: 072 566 2925 | bookings@cyclefit.co.za www.cyclefit.co.za

9th... Which if memory serves is exactly where I finished in 2017. Last year I didn't pick Barguil and this year GVA was my undoing. Just close enough to give me hope and ensure I curse the poor riders I didn't select. No prizes for consistency?

Thanks for all the replies! Its specifically because of stories about all the tablets on the road that I asked the question in the first place. I will steer clear.

Do you guys use any painkillers when doing IM distances? Any health risks to doing so? I have heard many people do this, so was wondering whether I should add it to the list of things in the T2 bag?

I get 300 points when swimming more than 60 minutes using my Garmin 735xt with swim strap.

They also have good specials leading up to Christmas. Got myself a Canyon Neuron on one of them.

When training on the my Tacx I don't link the heartrate monitor to the Tacx software or Swift, but rather select indoor cycle on my Garmin watch and then monitor my heartrate on my watch rather than on Swift. This will essentially result in two workouts on Strava for instance, but only the workout on your watch will qualify for points. with Discovery. This does however make it painful to track your heartrate at certain power outputs etc.

Nope. Unless doing multiple types of exercise (MTB, swim, run and squash) on my Garmin is working the system. The only thing I can possibly think of is they don't like my high hart rate when I choose "other" as type of exercise when I am playing squash..

I just got the following email from Discovery: "The Vitality programme is designed to encourage and reward our members for living well and taking care of their health. In order to protect the integrity of this health programme, we do periodic reviews of our members’ points-earning activities. During a recent review of fitness points allocated to Vitality members during 2017, a number of fitness points linked to a fitness device workout were flagged as irregular on your policy. If you would like to dispute this finding or have any queries about this, please contact vitalityreview_dispute@discovery.co.za. If we do not hear from you before Friday, 16 February 2018, these points will be automatically deducted from your 2017 Vitality points monitor, and your Vitality status will be recalculated. We encourage you to keep getting healthy to get rewarded. Discovery Forensics" WTF! If I dont respond in 2 days they are just going to take my points! They could have at least provided a list of workouts they find "irregular" and the reasoning behind it. Nice and transparent! Anyone else got this?
