TK-Sp3cialiSt Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 My Edge 500 measured 1195 Ascent and 1836 Descent...
Ecko_1 Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 My wife (a journalist) mentioned yesterday that one of her colleagues was talking about there being 2 fatalities during the Shova. She didnt here much other info. I asked her to get more info today. Anyone else hear of this by any chance?
spiderkzn Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Ecko according from Amashova in facebook one man had heart attack at Botha Hill
TimW Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 The Mercury has full story on the heart attack victim this morning.
Ecko_1 Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Thanks. I wonder if the 2nd fatality perhaps misinformation? That is sad news. Not sure the circumstances of the individual, but a sad happening regardless. RIP
SurferChild Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 It was nice to meet you and thanks for the lift.No worries bud... glad i could help and meet another fellow hubber
andydude Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 How? What he said below. What program/website do you use? In my case, yes. There is a setting on Garmin Connect and on Strava that allows you to choose elevation correction on or off. Usually I find this gives results that correlate closely with those other people publish. In this case, my figures are a bit higher.
Garfield2010 Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Garmin X910. I use Garmin's website/software. Thx I did tick the box.
Alfa147GTA Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 My first Shova and did it in 3h27min. Started cycling again in mid-August and have been loving it. Had a guy called Tim in front of me, he pulled me just about two thirds of the way. Pity his chain kept coming off.
Amashova Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 I think driving back to Jhb after the race wasn't such a good idea! Time to shop early and try and get a decent flight.next year's race date is 12 October so nowyou have a whole year! look forward to seeing you next year! spiderkzn, Andyr249 and Pusher 3
Blackadder Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Out of interest, how many people rode the Amashova this year. I read somewhere there were 10,000 riders on the 106km race, but RaceTec only lists 4,279 finishers. Even accounting for no-shows and dnf's, it does not sound likely that there were that many registrations. GaryvdM 1

Blackadder Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) The 10000 maybe included riders doing the shorter distances. No, I checked the article, and they said there were a total of "just under 14,000" riders, with 10,000 doing the main event. =107961"]http://www.witness.co.za/index.php?showcontent&global[_id]=107961Seems high to me Edited October 19, 2013 by Blackadder
