Windbreaker Posted November 25, 2007 Share nellie' date=' it was grrrrrreat! Very social (that means slow!), but we had a great time. The weather was perfect and I am now so psyched I want another team event in the Cape. It is such a nice and unique event. Plus PPA got everything spot-on. Best run race in a LONG time.[/quote']Absolutely agree that another team event would be a really good idea. And the PPA learned from last year - was really well organised. Well done Karin & team.

Skye Posted November 25, 2007 Share Thanks Nellie I am not sure about keeping the girls names flying high BUT what I do know is I am battling to walk & sit. It was a awesome experience and I recommend that every signal hubber tries it next year. It's not about how fast you can race it is about each and every team member crossing over the line. Sherbet and it's one of those lines that never seamed to get closer, at one point I was convinced they kept on moving the finish line What blew me was all the PPA signs that they put up reminding us how far we still had to cycle. Hells bells man that was tough. Skye2007-11-25 22:14:23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skye Posted November 25, 2007 Share I am officially dead... really enjoyed the DC. It was good fun but it killed me.. SkyeSaw you at the start Skye but there was no time to chat. your team' date=' like all of us, was hurried along to get going. Well done Skye.[/quote'] No way you saw me at the start and you didn't even shout My heart rate was 167 at the start and all my team mates were killing themselves laughing, it took me all the way to suurbrak to get my heart rate down. Great experience and I think we should put a couple of CT Hubbers teams together next year. PS that does not mean I will ride it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racman Posted November 25, 2007 Share I forgot what the deal was - remind me please? (I only remember threatening to tell the hub that you didn't if you chickened out (But then I have been known to chicken out of paying out a few bets that I lost. Something to do with the fine print !!!!) I'm in for next year - (So I've got a year to get therapy and stop my reclusive habits !!) Or I could just be "GHOST RIDER" !!racman2007-11-25 11:24:32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skye Posted November 25, 2007 Share Thanks to you all. Went through a bad patch around 120/130K lost my sense of humor big time. Didn't take my team mates long to talk me through it and I was back on top form. Sadly one of our team mates clip the wheel in front of him went down hard and broke his collar bone. That set us back about 30/40 minutes until the ambulance arrived. I think we went over the line in just over 9 hours. It was a great experience & might consider doing it again. I am giving the following items away. SmartiesJelly TotsXmas Cake x 3Ham Sandwiches x 4Bar ones x20Raisins x 6 small pksGu's X 8Fast Fuel x 4 bottles mixed While I was packing my cooler hubby just sat at the table and watched me fill it to the brim. Eventually I had to sit on the lid to close the thing hubby not saying a word. We get into bed and he said to me, love do you think you have enough food and crap for the day tomorrow and laughed until he was crying The joke was on me which is ok!!!!! My medal is hanging up in the bar and I am proud of it Skye2007-11-25 12:01:34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
