Iron Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) I would love to try it on a SS like Iron did last yea r- but i'm afraid i'll die you need a big pill of HTFU , that all ( if you want to go fast that is ). this year i will break the sub 3 on my SS , its piss and boaring on a road bike but a SS mtb makes this race fun again and interesting .

LOOK695 Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 Basket, mudguards, chainguard... the usual kinda stuff Looks like you broke away from your group in that pic
Agteros Posted June 5, 2012 Author Posted June 5, 2012 Looks like you broke away from your group in that pic That would have been either D/E/F/G overtaking me on the high way. After that everybody else (except for around 30 people) overtook me
Garfield2010 Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 you and me both. The very elusive sub 3hr. The only time I ever managed a sub 3 was many years ago (when I was much lighter) doing a 2h58 the race in those days was called the star 100 and was actually 115km Haha thats awesome. I have done the OFM Classic in 02h44 but thats an easy race I guess. PB on my 9 Argus races are 03h15 (old route) 94.7 is 03h15 as well.... Maybe this year if I can do some 2 loooong and proper cradle rides after the Otter who knows.... Or maybe I should take the whole of the 3rd week before the 94.7 off and do a kind of a training camp!!

My results vary from 02:53 to a 07:17, alternating between a fast and a slow year Would still love to do a 9 hour 94.7

Agteros Posted June 5, 2012 Author Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) And how do we do that? Stop at restaurants all along the route? I would like to stop at some of them cheerleaders though..... I stopped at Dunkeld for ice cream at Fournos. Stopped & had a chat with every single person I knew along the route. Stopped at the water points Pulled into the Petroport on the N14 for a water break & food. Sat around, waited for friends to overtake me. Landed up at the top of Kayalami 1.5 hrs ahead of shedule when a light drizzle started and I rode to the finish with a friend who came past doing a 'normal', but late start ride. Need to learn to take it even easier for 2013 ! Edited June 5, 2012 by RoboCyclist Maps 1
Cyclewizz Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 Would like to do a sub 2:45, will have to wait and see what the day yields though My target last year was 2:45 and I did a 2:48 so this year I'll once again attempt a 2:45.So I'm going to sit on your wheel the whole way !!!!!!!!!
Cyclewizz Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 Would still love to do a 9 hour 94.7 3 laps will get you very close to 9 hours #justsaying

Garf I wanted to ask you if you are following some sort of training programme for the otter and if so if you would mind sharing it with me. I'd like to take a peek at whats involved thinking I'm also gonna do this race next year.
Seeker911 Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 http://www.dinosaurh...gravity-39.html Well I'm not so sure about this theory. If I look at the size of my son and his mates at the local rugby club I would have to say there's got to be a lot less gravity or they must be eating something I am not. I have another theory the longer you live on this planet the greater the effect gravity has on you. If you look at my mid rift you will know what I am talking about
