There was a problem (modem wasn't plugged in) with the scanner on your left as you came in and the results wasn't uploaded.

 

I am guessing they can recover it.

 

my results missing as well and i have a few bets at work riding on it... :drool:

My 57 km ended here when I tried overtaking on a left and a branch steered my handlebars at 90 degrees at 30+ km/h

Uhm, okay, CatGirl...

I stopped running a few years ago as I could feel my right knee wasn't so happy.

 

Hope it all works out.

Eina! 1st race on my SS finished outside my goal..

.. around 4hr10min... was good fun I'll be back for more

 

Hey- hey.. I was cruizing with youguys a bit at some stage. (the skinny guy that talked so much k@k on the morewood. Your legs must be toast today..

 

I had a Deezaster of a race.. Not that I was ever going to kook it with only a couple of 1:30 rides as prep but In my unfit state. Lourensford 2011 was the last race I done, and the last time Ive been in any kind of shape.

 

I did a "warmup" saturday morning and followed my usual routine which incorporated a few bursts of speed to get the muscles shapp ( this worked wonders when I was still riding 10-15 hours a week 18 months ago.

But all it did for me yesterday was leave me with dead legs at 10 km In.. I suffered the entire ride. Normally One starts suffering after 2:30 or 3 hours. My heartrate was cruising low and I was hardly out of breath at times but the legs were in pain from 15 minutes in..

****.. I was definately going to take the 38km route but The split came on the downhill and way earlier than I expected (12km?) So I missed it..

 

man.. I have never felt so weak and had to dig so deep mentally to not want to pull out. But then I just made piece with the fact that I had to just spin and spin and granny gear away in my 28-34t..

 

Glad I went on to do the long route, training for Eselfontein ;)

Just returned from Ortho. Doctor who said I managed to punch my shoulder bone through my scapula and the associated muscles and ligaments also took a beating. 6 weeks in a sling till bone heals.

 

Starting to see a worrying pattern developing.
