Tiny K Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 even the elites had off times compared to previous years....... around 10 min I think.
splat Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 even the elites had off times compared to previous years....... around 10 min I think. That makes me feel a bit better.I was 8 mins slower than last year
'Dale Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 The theme of my race was 'legspeed'.I really wanted to spread my effort more consistently over the course. Last year, I fizzled out like a cheap firecracker before Chapmans and pedalled to the finish in squares. This year was a much better effort.Still have to put much more time in interval training and speedwork as I lost pace with my bunch by Wynberg Hill.Spent 90 % of my race time in small groups who splintered off from main bunches. This made for interesting tactical racing. What a beautiful course!Well done to the organisers.
The Bastion Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 Argus Newbie starting way way back with the unseeded PPA members. Was aiming for a 4h30, the traffic got heavy around Smitz, 2h09 at the half way. My race was stuffed when I was forced to walk the last bit of Chappies due to a monster traffic jam of walkers (25min), dont blame them, the tempreture was 43 degrees! Limped in with a 5h09, pity I feel like a sub 4 will be easy to achieve next year, I MUST seed though! Great gees along the route!

Wannabe Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 Berry, well done. You were only about 7 minutes slower than me.
gadget Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) 3:30 first Argus from K. Dropped my chain at UCT and from there my bike was like a stubborn horse. Great event, but I did not have a great race. Not far from goal time though (whould have helped if I could stick with the front of my group - there were a couple of really strong IM riders).
