Seeding e-mails have been sent out yesterday...if you have not received an e-mail it means that you probably did a bulk entry or that you entered with the wrong details, but dont stress, you can get your seeding info at registration today (17h00 - 21h00) or tomorrow (05h30 - 16h00) Edited February 24, 2012 by Tim_Fair

zaShadow Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Finished the 75km earlier... damn, that was tough and HOT.Was hoping for a sub-5 hours, but came in at over 6.Never gets easy, does it?
kosmonooit Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Was that route Dr Friken Evil's doing or what? Eish that was hard work, first four hours for me was climbing up + 20% gradients, followed up high altitude undulations, muddy up hill single track, followed by more undulations, average temp was about 38 Deg C and the humidity was high. I skulked in just under 8 hours, still lots of WaG's / kids waiting, it was mayhem out there. Granny gear worked overtime, never got into the big ring at all. Okay there was interludes of flowing down hill single track. Thanks. My Garmin estimated about 3800 Calories which was a record by 30% But great organised event, water points 10/10 and I love Sabie. Will be back.
