Ryan Posted November 5, 2012 Share Did a bit of a reconnaissance drive on that new section by Killarney mall up to Joe Slovo yesterday. Eish! Looks like a bit of pain will be dished out there. K@k uphill past St. Johns... That hill is definitely going to burn. ibruegge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TALUS Posted November 5, 2012 Share So i'm starting in L but i believe i could do a sub 3 hour my coach recons around sub 2h50 should be my goal according to my recent results. I haven't done that many road races ( only done 3 all in cape town and none were seeding events). Does anyone know if i will be able to get an earlier start time ? like around E or F ? ThanksI am also pissed being in L but I will try my best for sub 3. Anyone received info on their reseed requests yet?No reply. Only confirmed A1 for MTB...?why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibruegge Posted November 6, 2012 Share I'll fly in so late before the race, surely my body isn't even going to notice the altitude difference. Right? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJDT Posted November 7, 2012 Share Joburg is on a small hill and Kyalami lies below Joburg...as said nice downhill and flat stretches.... Just one thing that might be a factor is that Joburg is somehwat hotter than Cape Town Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevieL Posted November 8, 2012 Share and it rains at this time of the year I remember a few years back, when the rain was caning it down on the section past the zoo (the steepest descent in the race).Fogged up glasses with rain obscuring my vision... Hair raising stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie13 Posted November 8, 2012 Share I know it is still a long time until the race and things can still change but there is a lot of rain forecast for next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
