Mats Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 I am not so sure. The way that Auntie climbed past me last Sunday, showed that she can ride it like it's stolen... I'm not your Auntie.I'm young enough to be your daughter.

bmw1za Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 I did the lionpark loop in the cradle today as prep for 94.7 next week... Started at Gordon Rd Mcdees on Ontdekkers towards Randfontein , past keywest,Robbert Broom (down sterkfontein), makiti, lionpark past toadbury... over the N14 via beyers, onto the N14 up Hillsnacks and back up ontdekkers ... 98 ks of intense pain . 3h30 minsIs this route tough enough for me to at least have a hope in hell of doing 94.7 in 3hr straight ? How much rest or training do i need this week i term of tapering down to peak ? My quads and hamstrings took serious strain today (tearing like a little girl)

I reckon a lot depends on your start group. It definitely sounds like you are strong enough to manage a 3hr. But riding in a strong group also means picking the right breaks to go with at the right time. I see it all the time where guys are out of the saddle trying to get into breaks off the front on the M1 already only to be caught on the Joe Slovo uphill. Bide your time and stick with a big group in the early parts. If you feel strong on the N14 or after, then you can demonstrate your best breakaway maneuvers.
Butterbean Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 So my only seeding event, dome to dome, was done in 3:15... Got seed in SS departure for 9:41... Hoping for a sub 3:30, but worried about the traffic! I knon it'll be a bit of a time trial ride but hoping for a good one nevertheless!
TALUS Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 Did the MTB this morning. They def tried to make it more technical. Still not a technical race but def step-up from last year. Nic White came 4th (I think) in pink stockings on a S/S and Robyn De Groot came in the top 10. I dont know the winning times so I cannot compare to last year - route was 75% the same. I suffered like a biaaatch for a 2:35ish. A guy fell of one of those retaining wall made of rocks and mesh wire, right behind me - hope he is OK.
divernick Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 I got a 2:36 on my SS - my best ever result. I'm stoked. davetapson and TALUS 2

Fire Engine Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 I was chatting to a guy at the Finnish his mate sent him some pics of the back log was ridiculous, if you don't have a good seeding for this race you are totally screwed. I was ok so guess I will be back next year.
Animal9 Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 Anyone know when/where results for the mtb race will be out?
Warren911 Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 You can check the results on the racetec websiteAnyone know when/where results for the mtb race will be out?
Active Monkey Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 I managed 3:01 on the 55.Wish i was 1 min faster Enjoyed the race, the single track up the kopie had a little backlog. Warren911 1
