sometime Posted June 3, 2012 Share I did the 64.2km marathon in a little over 2h30. I was suffering with a hangover (not smart I know) and not much riding since Sani. I also felt I was getting beaten up riding a hardtail (I suspect my sore head made it feel worse than it was). But then I got passed by rigid single speeders and decided to STFU and HTFU. Great race though. No congestion despite the route convergence at the end (other race organisers please take note - it CAN be done). Well marked, well marshalled, no major traffic issues and a route that was quite varied considering the location. Well done to all concerned - I'll be back next year hopefully this time without the hangover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACM Posted June 3, 2012 Share After last years race I did not want to ride a Nissan Trailseeker again due to the short cuts taken by others and the congestion. If this is anything to go by for the next races I'm in for all of them this year. Route was sublime with a decent mix of singletrack, jeep and cattle track. Congestion non-existent and marshalling was friendly and efficient. Well done to the organisers!! Anyone have a gps track of the 40km? what was the actual km's? I measured 43.82km with my garmin edge 500 for the 40km race (but it's using the speed / cadence meter - not the GPS distance). According to google earth (gps data exported to google earth), the distance was 42.2km. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgar Posted June 3, 2012 Share Ran the same gear but I have been running 18 for a year now and have ridden nothing else only change it on Friday night. I been struggling with patella tendinitis and it just hurt me from on the little climb at the start and was in agony for the rest of the day. On a positive note I was 1hr faster than last year which was my first marathon and first SS ride so getting better but not one of my best. Reckon I need a good dose of HTFU Also changed on Friday. Nice work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanScalpel Posted June 3, 2012 Share Compared to the last two Nissan Tyger Valley races, this one was BY FAR the best one! Well done to the organisers! I was a bit curious about the 9AM start, but it turned out VERY well! I was actually thankful for the later start as it was quite chilli at 7AM The route was also awesome! I much preferred it (in reverse) to the previous years. I also didn't see any obvious places where one could mistakenly make a wrong turn and end up take a "short cut", which was great. As Woolf said, if this is the race to go by for the following Nissan races, I'm very much looking forward! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
