Jaco-fiets Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Coming sunday will be the marathon worlds! Guess we won't be so lucky to watch on tv? Will Suazie retain title? i see it is only over 84km. Rather short..............
'Dale Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 short, but 3300m climbing! That's lots!Phew!That'll warm me up.
Jaco-fiets Posted October 4, 2012 Author Posted October 4, 2012 short, but 3300m climbing! Ok! Well that should make up for the distance.
kandui Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Will it be on live streaming ? Can you give me a decent web address without porn ads every couple of minutes?
Jaco-fiets Posted October 4, 2012 Author Posted October 4, 2012 If the mechanical demons stay away i really think KNox and maybe Evans can get good results. With this i mean top 10 or 15
jannosmit Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Suzi and Lakata both strong. Don't know about about the other marathon specialists. No Burry/Kulhavy/Naef etc, with that said I really hope our Saffa boytjies gooi. Evans schemes at least one of them can get a top 10. My money is on Max Knox.
'Dale Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Hope to see a highlights package somewhere on TV...

rock Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 i cant help get the feeling we're missing the plot a bit with marathon racing locally, we now have these ultra marathon with distances in excess of 100kms, but whenever its marathon worlds or other high profile marathon event its like 70-80kms with a heap more climbing an its often being referred to as a XCO type course with stacks of singletrack....
SwissVan Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 Judging by the photos i've seen on twitter it looks like it was a bit of a lottery in the mud today
SwissVan Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 (edited) Christoph Sauser @sauserwind4th at worlds. biggest mudfest ever. was down to 12th at one point. rear down shifting broke. well now no more world champ any more Edited October 7, 2012 by SwissVan
1kTT Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 I was there spectating and can confirm that the course was way harder than any one of the MTN national races in SA. There were plenty of grown racing snakes in tears. The real problem was that the conditions were so different to anything we have in SA that it was hard to translate local form into a result. Max Knox and Yolande Speedy were great though!
