The Drongo Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Who the f*&k is Liezel vd Westhuizen? I think she is famous. Will check with the wife. Don't hold your breath.....
AndreZA Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 I'm sorry, but if you cycle around looking like this, you need to be punished.
'Dale Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 The Ironman cut off is 17 hours. There are also cut off times for the swim (2h20), Bike (10h30 total time).Thus it is a challenge achievable to the masses. Ironman is only a race for a select few athletes. The other 1500 people are competing against them self. And a finish is most of the times even better than a win for the pro's. My wife is doing her first Ironman in April after having two kids. She is aiming for the late 15h mark but 16h59 will also do. Then ive got a climbing mate who fell of a rock and broke both ancles bad. had numerous operations and he is also doing it. He is planning to walk the marathon.Point is Ironman is for anyone with guts and determination and most people have very different back grounds and expectations. Maybe better not to judge on face value.This is my Post-Of-The-Day... Thank you, FC&P2C!

fandacious Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 I'm sorry, but if you cycle around looking like this, you need to be punished. I know! I mean - a livestrong band? Really??
DaLoCo Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 I know! I mean - a livestrong band? Really?? I thought you referred to the powerbalance??
The Drongo Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 I thought you referred to the powerbalance?? You see that violin thing on your sofa?? Start the 'powerwobble' thing again an I'm gonna have to smack you with that instrument!!
fabes Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 wow some guys are brutal on The Hub, this poor girl is devastated already that she is out of Ironman 2011 and here guys are ragging her about her time (which she was happy with, all that matters)to what clothes she is wearing. Who cares any sport you do is about achieving your goals you have set out. If a new comer to cycling had to read this thread it would be hard to convince them that there are some nice people in the sport. Luckily i met a whole bunch of nice people when i started doing triathlons and Ironman events before reading some of this crap you people come up with on the hub. Why cant people reply constructively to a thread and if you out to pick a fight rather do it with staff at work or something.

What is all that about, you've tested her Iq? Been in school with her...
Lamber Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 I'm sorry, but if you cycle around looking like this, you need to be punished. It's like wearing a t-shirt and a poster saying "please note that i'm a cyclist"! Hahaha! loving this thread! "like the wheels into the pavements, so are the posts on our Hub"
