[Event] NISSAN TRAILSEEKER #3 Down & Dirty

[sometime]

I already registered, just hope that they have made a plan with the bottlenecks, last years race was bottleneck mania, at some points we waited over ten minutes

 

Agreed - last year's bottlenecks put me off this race completely. Anyone know if there are route changes for this year?

I haven't entered yet, I'll wait to hear what's been done to sort out the bottle necks

[Dustbin Dog]

The bottlenecks last year, were they in the 70km or the short?

The bottlenecks last yea,r were they in the 70km or the short?

 

I did the 40km and there were bottlenecks, I'm not sure about the 70km, hopefully it's been sorted. The main one I can remember was at the end of a long farm road going straight into some technical single track, waited quite a while there.

[Mr Winter]

Going to be entering the 40km need to start training harder

[Pieter1]

Last year It was my first marathon so by the time I got to the "bottle necks" they were gone.

there like white on rice, on a paper plate next to a polar bear in a snow storm!

Hate bottlenecks, so so much.

[Tim_Fair]

Hey guys,

 

Rest assured the bottle necks have been sorted. Separate return routes for 40km, 70km and 20km, 10km!

 

I will post updated route maps next week.

[G-Unit]

If I remember correctly, the bottlenecks were caused by the 20,40 and 70 coming together with a about 5 or 6km to go. Only the really fast A batch marathon riders got through ok. If you were mid pack marathon or doing the 40 you were basically stuffed.

 

Looks like Tim and the boys have learned their lesson in previous races, so hopefully this will also be better(?)

Good stuff - to your credit you guys keep learning from previous years about the routes.

 

Now, just gotta work on those goody bags :-)

I am soooo tempted to do the 40km race. Any suggestions about training for it?

Spin at your local gym (in a class) x3 /week for 1 h and do 2h ride offroad weekends and you will be able to finish nicely.

[marcfr]

I've entered for the 70km

[Meentb]

I reckon the start times will change as i see the 70km guys are starting behind the 40km guys. And with that time split it looks like a mass bunch start

[Meentb]

Cant seem to enter gives me this moerse orange warning!
