Garfield2010 Posted March 10, 2014 Author Posted March 10, 2014 PS - my entire toolkit box fell off my bike and I didn't realise it - gonna cots a few pennies to replace everything aarrgghhh Happened to me at midlands ultra. Saddle bag R150Valve extension and tool R70Disc valve R140Slime bomb R80Allen key R120tubes and tyre levers R80 Yes it is an expensive exercise
Garfield2010 Posted March 10, 2014 Author Posted March 10, 2014 So............would I be correct in saying that this coming weekend is arguably the most important of all weekends for final long distance training for PE? Three full weeks to recover means you can probably do anything this weekend in terms of biking and swimming whilst limiting running to no more than 30km........

This is one week you don't want to be missing sessions, mainly for the knowledge / memory / comfort / peace of mind that will come from completing a really hard week. I am also finding it quite easy to look at getting through this week, in fact I am kind of looking forward to the pain (as opposed to the last month, which I found really hard mentally), knowing that its all getting easier after sunday
JGR Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 26 days to go......That sounds better than 3 weeks ....
Sidekick Racer Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Anyone in this group riding a Giant TT bike out past Blouberg yesterday evening? Passed me on the bike path while I was out running - looking lean and mean!
Garfield2010 Posted March 11, 2014 Author Posted March 11, 2014 Its still raining.... no gym contract.... So I am tapering for this weekends massacre.
Metzet Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Its still raining.... no gym contract.... So I am tapering for this weekends massacre. this weather is getting a bit much .. dusted off the old treadmill, let's hope no more loadshedding otherwise that plan goes out the window!
Red Zone Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Damn its windy in Cape Town at the moment, normally the wind stops right after the Argus, but not this year. At least its not raining.
Pure Savage Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Yesterday driving home past Old mutual the one lane was closed as a bakkie had lost its load. As I drove past I had a look at what was on the road. It was about 200 Iron man 10 year race packs or magazines. a few trucks drove over a whole bunch. The mags may be a little late
