StevieL Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 That Amashova time (2h49) is absolutely flying.I have managed several sub 3hr 94.7s', but the Amashova has proved a bridge too far.I came close last year missing the 3hr mark by 44 seconds.But if you can do the Shova in under 3, a sub 3hr 94 should be a breeze...
hboli4 Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 Very possible, did my 1st OFM a couple of years back on the mtb (just started cycling) and did the 94km route in 3:58 I think it was. Next year on the road bike did the 97km route in 3:05. I also don't race every event so my times differ...maybe the same here?
amoryns Posted November 19, 2012 Author Posted November 19, 2012 mmmm....I am not convinced...person in question have been cycling for couple of years never sub 3-ing anything and all of a sudden bam......sub 3 amashova and 94.7....I would also want some of that coaching to make such a drastic improvement
Bianchi Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 Chap in our office started cycling 6 months ago !!! He said to me he's gonna do a sub 3 94.7 , we laugh and made jokes about it . He did 4 MTB races and this was his first road race starting from NN . He did a 2:58 on his own , no groups and sucking !! When I started cycling, I started in August. did the Telkom and Ofm and 94.7..... clocked 3h on it, so it's by no means impossible.In another 100km race in Jozie I did a 3h30 one year and the same race a year later, under 2h30.So yeah, a lot can happen in a year.
The Big Bad Norm Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 Can be done, with lots of hard work, and right attitude. Alot can be done in a year. Dunno what his trainign was like before he took things to another level, but sure he must have done some sucking.....

ivr32 Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 My first race was 94.7 2011. Did it in 4:21, this year did it in 3:15I was aiming for the great sub 3 but the wind broke me on the N14.Also started in group P there was no bunch to get into, which sucked big time
amoryns Posted November 19, 2012 Author Posted November 19, 2012 Okay well maybe SHE started training very hard ;-)
MooToo Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 2011 as a all female tandem, this year as a mixed couple. We all know that on a mixed tandem its maLkes a big difference who is up front.
amoryns Posted November 19, 2012 Author Posted November 19, 2012 BTW, hubby can ride ok, so you know why I was asking the specific question ;-0. results were very quickly changed.....
EZRider Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 Easy. Mine were: 2010 4:15, 2011 3:25, 2012 3:07 and I was riding with my son this year so could have been quicker.
EZRider Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012   ok, so you know why I was asking the specific question ;-0. results were very quickly changed..... Ok give us the dirt now...
