Two Oceans Marathon 2014

[Sportsworld.co.za]

My wife and I did the Ultra together and absolutely loved the vibe!

• Great support from spectators who carried us home
  
• Great cheers from the waterpoints
  
• Great to be in lovely Cape Town and enjoy these great events on our doorstep!
  

 

Definitely back for more punishment next year..

1h50 for me, nice vide, great support, could do with more training (doesn't help to only start training after the argus ). Well done to all that competed.

[eeeek]

A very painful 1:59:36 for me, hamstring strain from the top of Edinburgh Drive, still happy to have run sub-2 all things considered.

On the upside, 1km from the finish managed to pull a Junior runner, who had nothing left, with me to a sub-2

Still doesn't look like the RaceTec website has been updated with the results...

The Two Oceans website has all the results provisionally available.

Thanks, I saw that. But I'm more interested in position, etc. than time. My Garmin already gave me that info.

 

I just find it weird that it's taking so long for them to upload it all?

Last year it took weeks (+- 4) for the Two Oceans web site to reflect positions. Patience ;-)

Looks like you can get results on RaceTec now: http://racetec.co.za/profile/my-events/ Just enter your name and surname under option 1.

 

But some of the times seem a bit whack, so I think it's still a work in progress...

Absolutely loved it! The route was beautiful and so was the support, especially those on trucks .

Was my first half and certainly not my last, oh and that Southern Cross Drive... pffft,pfft- just a bump in the route . I did however start feeling a small cramp at those freekin steep embankments on Rhodes Drive.

I managed a 2:14, was actually aiming for a 2:20 with the longest I've ever run before being about 7km and minimal to no training I'm happy.

What I wondered though was why there was such a difference between my racetec chip time and my watch as I started and stop on the timing mat. My watch registered 2.10???

I think the clock starts when the gun goes off and not when you hit the timing mats. I started my watch as the gun went and have approx. the same time as RaceTec (out by 3 seconds). If you look at the race results on the two oceans site there is a section showing start...took me over 1 min from the time the gun went off to the starting mats

Correct; time starts when gun fires!

Gun to mat, always. No different to a PPA ride or any other timed event.

 

I think KNOW the clock starts when the gun goes off and not when you hit the timing mats.

 

Fixed

There's always a debate about this, unfathomably. The first mat merely registers your participation and seeding group.

First year I entered I got a D seeding; took me more than 1 minute to get over starting line. Next year I trained harder, got a C seeding, pitched early so I can be at the fromt of C. Took 28 seconds to get over the start line. So it really doesn't make that much difference unless your an A batch runner :-)

No, it is there. You need to go to: http://admin.twooceansmarathon.org.za/resultsoverall.aspx, and then select the relevant filters. You then must select download to .pdf, You can get a list of all the results and positions this way.

Precisely, the handicap remains the same.

 

Took me 94 seconds from mid-batch in D to cross the start on Saturday.
