Garfield2010 Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 The cape is spring will provide you with enought wind - dont worry about that. Its hot and dusty out that way so should be a good simulation So should I cycle with a ski mask?
davem Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Well done Garf. Great time. My best in a 70.3 distance is 5:50 so I guess you own me on two fronts! Need to up the training. You have now given me a target for 70.3 in Jan to redeem myself.

It was up and down the whole time with that biatch of a climb at the turn which went both ways twice!! EL only has bunkers hill?? The rest looks about right.
bradwentzel Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Oh and the Garf did it again. After racking up a few more "HUB" scalps the other day at Bela Bela (DaveM http://1.1.1.5/bmi/cdn.bikehub.co.za/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/whistling.gif) , he also won the prize trophy of the BradWentzel. http://1.1.1.1/bmi/cdn.bikehub.co.za/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/ph34r.png I chose to donate it to you and run with the missus instead... Besides, its all about the bike anyway...
Garfield2010 Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Lol, not to kick a lying man but when I first came past it looked more like the missus was waiting for you?

Whats up with that (def not keen on an extra 400+metres on the swim). Or did you battle to swim in straight lines maybe?

I did swim a bit all over the place but from what I have heard the swim distance was a tad longer. I think the distance includes the run to transition.
B-Active Sports Posted October 9, 2012 Author Posted October 9, 2012 Well done to all our athletes! The Results are up pn our website including split times. Thanks for that comparative Simhen, Our bike is exactly 3.06km short (Garmin & Timex measured) short and this is due to the MASSIVE hill just past the turn point. However its within the 5% variation allowance. The run route is harder then it looks, beacuse its undulating.... but its an honest running course. Anyway well to done to all competitors. Look out for a bigger and better Series in 2013. We have some exciting plans ahead. If you have any constructive comments and feedback, please email us: info@midlandsultra.com Rest those legs this week and hope to see you on the 3rd of March 2013. Cheers Damian, Caryn and the B-Active Team
bradwentzel Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Is it just me or can I not find the results on the website?
Seeker911 Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Garf you silly boy. You won a prize but you were not there so they gave the prize to me instead Seriously you won a walk man of some sort must have been quite fancy because everyone wanted it. A few minutes later I won a pair of sunglasses and a R500 voucher for Troisport
