ScottyScott Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Die manne wat weet se jy moet net alles dieselfde doen voor n groot race soos wat jy doen voor n Saterdag se lang afstand. Vir my werk n lekker 500g rump steak Meduim met 2 dubbel KWVs met Coke.
Danger Dassie Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 I find 2 or 3 beers after a race just as important.
janneman72 Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Beer is good for you! The important thing to remember is to have beers the night before and even more beers after the race especially after the Argus you need to find the nearest beer tent and wait for your buddies to come in. The preferred approach will be if you can do the Argus in 3 hours and start at 6:30 and have a buddy or family member who can do the Argus in 6 hours and only start at 10am it's even better, this will allow you 6 and a half hours of quality beer tent time!
FrancoisC Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 (edited) Riding down to Cape town in 2008 we had 2 or 3 beers during a 270 km stage from Kimberly to Britstown in 42 degree heat and I swear I felt stronger.Its the carbs just the way I like it... Edited March 3, 2011 by FrancoisC
mtbvip Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 If i have a couple of beers(2 or 3) the day before a tough ride how bad will the effects be come race day.Depends whether you drinking local or imported Seriously, one or two wont do harm.
Tumbleweed Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 I find 2 or 3 beers after a race just as important. Amateur.
TNT1 Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Amateur. Yeah, should be at least double that amount and to be had during the race.
TNT1 Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Speaking of which, I must be racing today, cause I only had two beers last night. Ok, two quarts, but still, only two...

The Guy in Pink Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 (edited) Beers before a race is Ok but in about '70 I looked after our guys (Northern Wheelers CC) in SA Road champs at Potch. Derek Coetzee who had about 3 years fairly successful racing in France was dropped from the bunch at about 100km, I went back to see what he needed before leaving him to stay with our guys left in the bunch. It turned out that what he needed was 2 beers. 5km from the finish Derek was suddenly back in the bunch and finished SA Champs a credible 6th place. After the finish I discovered that he had been fed more beers by others after I had left him. We caculated that Derek had performed his remarkable comeback with 6 beers inside.

scotty Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Alan Robb used to have steak, egg and chips washed down with beer the night before running the comrades and go on to win.
Shebeen Posted July 12, 2023 Posted July 12, 2023 don't think Matt Beers has his own thread, this one will do just fine then. is he going to Marathon worlds - does he have a chance there? since it doubles up with everything else there won't be any XCO guys https://www.cyclingworldchamps.com/championships/mountain-bike-cross-country-marathon/ JohanDiv 1
peetwindhoek Posted July 12, 2023 Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) From one of his social media posts he indicated that he is going. If he is at the start line he has a chance! Edited July 12, 2023 by peetwindhoek added image ChrisF 1
