Face Plant Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 almost time for the 2012 series... gonna be a good one! Sasol_Cross_2012.pdf
Face Plant Posted December 2, 2011 Author Posted December 2, 2011 i just heard that the Last event of the series at the Island estate will be the ITU africa Champs
Face Plant Posted December 12, 2011 Author Posted December 12, 2011 juswt over a month left till the first Sasol cross event
Wheelsuck Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 @ Faceplant What's the route like at Island Estate?
Face Plant Posted December 12, 2011 Author Posted December 12, 2011 from what i understand it will be part of the redstone route Wheelsuck excluding the mountain climb... so it will be pretty flat and fast. take note that the swim will be a 1000m at the island estate race
Wheelsuck Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 Thanks FP, I did one of the First Redstone Races and there was some technical stuff, especially the one secion that went up the trees and there was a very dodgy singletrack with a wicked drop to the side that section ended up at the rivercrossing, that's why I was asking. it could get congested.
Face Plant Posted December 12, 2011 Author Posted December 12, 2011 are you speaking about the technical downhill with all the rocks wheelsuck? if its the section i'm thinking of it wont be part of the course. well i hope not because that is a seriously dodgy section, guaranteed to see allot of people walking it
Wheelsuck Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 Faceplant: This was a seriuos uphill with a narrow singletrack that was against a cliff that was newly cut and had a drop fo about 5M on the one side. I think the one u mentioned was towards the midlle of the 2 Lapper that was also quite tuf an technical. Think they will probably use part of the 20km Route of the Redstone race and then it is different to the route we are talking about...Thank Goodness
Face Plant Posted December 12, 2011 Author Posted December 12, 2011 i will find out and let you know wheelsuck, knowing louis from spectrum sport there is bound to be a suprise somewhere
Skaap Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 i want to start training for these events but i have a knee injury...
Face Plant Posted December 12, 2011 Author Posted December 12, 2011 bad news skaap! how serious is it? maybe some swimming?
Robrider Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 I'll definitely do the first one as a warm up for Xterra. My swimming isn't that great, only started 2 weeks ago, but hey, it'll be fun.
Face Plant Posted December 12, 2011 Author Posted December 12, 2011 the xterra fits in perfectly Rob ... two weeks after the first sasolcross ... give you something to do after the xterra too!
Wheelsuck Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 Love the Sasol Series, have been doing them since one the first ones (Ruimsig). Also does not mess to much with your training plans and sometimes compliments it perfectly, ideal to just get the juices flowing.
Face Plant Posted January 3, 2012 Author Posted January 3, 2012 remember guys ... only a week and a half left before the first event
