Garfield2010 Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 Milkworx, if you can ride and run the 4km route in the botanical gardens (Emmarentia) in terms of technicality, you will be OK. It is really easy.

Cool thanks, did the Xterra lite there in Jan, just wanted to know if it would be the same level of difficulty (the run killed me!!)
Wheelsuck Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 To be more specific, u head out on the run route out of the gate, then tar for a while and then you turn Right into a secondary road for quite a couple of Km's, then u hit a bit of the Xterra route when u come back but it is really the rideable non technical bits. Just that last rocky hill before u drop off into that last section before u turn right to transition. That is once again of memory serves me.

Wheelsuck Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 The run is the Xterra run (the short one) none of the stuff after u cross the dam wall like the Full

I remember last years after the floods you had to ride through a few mud holes. Was awesome!!!
Garfield2010 Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 Bring the rain.... bring the wetsuits..........
Mojoman Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 Am looking out towards the Magalies mountains, as the crow flies it would be around 10km or so to Buffelspoort and its been raining most of the morning (had about 30mm where I live since yesterday evening).Who is still doing this event on Sunday? Looks like the rain will continue until tomorrow with a chance of some sun on Sunday.
Milkworx Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 You will see me there for sure.Looking forward to the MUD....
Garfield2010 Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 I will do it! I will take the ring to Mordor!!! Last year it was the same story and it was awesome!! HTFU
Seeker911 Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 Bring the rain.... bring the wetsuits.......... you gonna use a wetsuit for a 600m swim ?
Garfield2010 Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 you gonna use a wetsuit for a 600m swim ? Definately!! I swim at least 10% quicker with Mr jingles on.................... So I will swim 10min instead of 11minutes. It takes me 40m secs to take it off so its all the same.

Garfield2010 Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 you gonna use a wetsuit for a 600m swim ? And in any case I find it easier to randomly attack other athletes faces in the water whilst wearing my wetsuit......
Garfield2010 Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 i need to practise getting mine off. my only worry is by the time i get mine off you will be back from the cycle What better race to practice it then this one? I just stand up and step out of it. Dont sit down, thats normally when the problems begin.... You can also consider taking it off while still in the water..... much easier.....
