Eugene Oppelt Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 What's the updates, weather gurus? Is there a consistent forecast emerging across the various websites?
The Bull Shark Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 No wind, well, very little. The worst you will get is about 20kts at Cape Point area for the early bunches. By the time that the mobs arrive there it will be about 12kts. Bring out your deep sections and just hide behind someone at Smitswinkel.
M Hickley Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Dit lyk of die hoogste bome die meeste wind gaan vang (11m/s 6uur die oggend en 8m/s teen 9uur). Die wind bedaar soos die dag aangaan

Eugene Oppelt Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 Got an e mail this morning to say it's gonna be hot out there...
The Bull Shark Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 Yes, very hot, especially for us starting at brunch. Just went an got myself 2 litres of Lucozade.
Eugene Oppelt Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 It's official.I am packing away my deep sections.Tch! Undo that action!
Eugene Oppelt Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 Yes, very hot, especially for us starting at brunch. Just went an got myself 2 litres of Lucozade. For the ol' Camelbak?
The Bull Shark Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) No, don't use Camelbak. One bottle full for the cage and one bottle in my back pocket. (Small bottle in the back pocket.) Edited March 10, 2012 by Moridin
Eugene Oppelt Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 No, don't use Camelbak. One bottle full for the cage and one bottle in my back pocket. (Small bottle in the back pocket.)Â Enjoy.Remember sunscreen...
The Bull Shark Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 Yes, sunscreen vital. Learnt my lesson when I did one surfski race without any on. Race started cloudy and ended in the blazing sun. Typical unpredictable Cape Town weather. So now I always have it in my kit bag.
Bennie Dikwiel Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 So was it hot enough for everyone? - I finished 3 liter backpack and still weighed less after the race than before!
F2H Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 I started at 9:15 and finished at 14:13. My Polar CS400 recorderd the avg temp for the 1st half at 32C and the avg temp for the 2nd half at 41C. The max temp recorded was 51C @ chapmans.
