Seeker911 Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 This event takes place on April 15. I'm looking at the CycleLab site and must be honest what I am reading does not really make much sense to me. Is this an open event to all and sundry (the NON elite) and what are the distances ?

Does this help?http://www.spectrumsport.co.za/Portals/29/Featured%20Events%20Docs/Sasol_Cross_2012_new.pdf I'm doing the ATU 20+ and I'm a nobody, so sure it is open to anybody...
Seeker911 Posted March 20, 2012 Author Posted March 20, 2012 Ok the PDF puts it into context. It is race 4 of the Sasol series. All good see you there.

Face Plant Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 Wetsuit legal I assume? Just wanna get into race mode for IMSA Wheelsuck, i doubt that it will be wetsuit legal as the channel water is usually warm, we will howver try our best!
Wheelsuck Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 Wheelsuck, i doubt that it will be wetsuit legal as the channel water is usually warm, we will howver try our best! I know u can ....and have u seen how cold it is lately in the morning, I am bringing my wetsuit just in case.
Grondpad Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 What did you peeps think of the race? I enjoyed the swim in the channel and the mtb ride was great (except for the first part where only the grass was cut). I took some strain on the run but running next to the dam was great. All and all a very good event but unfortunately the prize giving was a disaster. The race took the avg participant between 2hours and 2:30 hours but the prize giving took almost 2:45 to complete. I stayed to the end as my buddy got a podium in the full distance and I wanted to support him. I do however not blame all the other podium finishers that decided enough was enough and left before they received their prizes. I mean really? How can the organizers expect the people to stick around for that long? I will not stay to the end again. It was a great event; it’s just a shame that it was spoiled by some terrible organizing of the prize giving. Yes, the ATU award did make it longer than usual, but it was still very very bad (and frustratingly long). I have to compliment the route designers. It was a very big step up from the mtb route in Buffelspoort Milkworx 1
