Musashi Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 I need some help guys, sitting with a cracked arm and hip that's not lekker, also inside of my right leg sometimes hurt when walking, I took a tumble Saturday before last. I started yesterday on the IDT, but couldn't manage for too long, since there is only 8 weeks of training left and I am on about 30% fitness. Do you recommend I do intervals on the trainer till I can get back on the bike 2nd/3rd week in Dec, or should I just kiss my Atta entry good bye? I suggest you see a specialist to find out what's wrong (especially injuries that affect your riding on the IDT), whether you can ride and how much. I don't think anyone can give advice without a thorough physical check-up. Even if it is only to get the go-ahead that you can train, you'll have peace of mind that you're not injuring yourself further by training.
Scott2luvit Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Ticket to George booked - I'm in. nice, but you mos doing it on a single?
jcza Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 nice, but you mos doing it on a single? No way, it'll be hard enuff with gears
G-Unit Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Ticket to George booked - I'm in. Mooi man! I'm probably gonna drive. 3 of us makes it worthwhile.

Wyatt Earp Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 nice, but you mos doing it on a single? He is too tjiekkun.
carbon29er Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 jus trein? But that won't be enough to ride a single on that track. What happened with the Dangle vs The Treiner duel at Attakwas?
Scott2luvit Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 He is too tjiekkun.Dangle you'll be able to give me a guideline as to what sort of training I should be doing on an IDT since I took a tumble and cracked my arm, the muscles are more or less OK now, just cant get out with the arm yet, my fitness is about 30% does one do interval training and push hard in Dec on the bike when I am able to be on it again?
Vega Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Entered for my second Attakwas. Hope I was in time for the T-shirt.
G-Unit Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Whew G dis ver!1200km in the car. Much easier than the 120km on the bike! The cost and schlep of getting a rental car to get from George to Oudtshoorn (which can fit a boxed 29er) puts me off the flying.

G-Unit Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 How do you know it's a 29r?Well, I figure a guy like you who does some pretty hardcore events will be using the best technology money can buy. That, and you told me.Giant XTC 29r
