Swart Kat Posted November 23, 2014 Share Ended up being the second full knobly mtb team over the line with a time of 6:34. Well done Gemini! Unfortunately my lights went out at 160km with an ave of 32km/h and max speed of 80km/h. Had a great team with some of the most insanely stong mtb'ers around! Now to rest for a real easy Burger with my "Clean Father" and swarrie...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted November 23, 2014 Share That was my 10th DC and my best time yet Great work by the team and as always, a great day out.I thought that it was well organised and marshalled. The finish area with the tent and cold towels was great tooThat cold towel...What a fine touch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucmccann Posted November 24, 2014 Share My first DC and it went brilliantly! Team rode like champs together and we crossed the line at 5h 49m with all 12 riders...still waiting to find out if we podiumed in the Charles Milner category though. @Savage, you guys must have had 1 very fresh rider. Saw he punctured in the first few kms and then managed to latch onto the back of the Pharmachoice boys up until Tradouw and then onto the back of us until the first meeting point to rejoin you guys EDIT: Just found out we got 3rd place in the Charles Milner Category Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongoose! Posted November 24, 2014 Share A solution is instant disqualification for littering outside designated zones, works in Ironman, can work for those that can only do one part of the sport.4th one this year.Firts time the full team crossed the line as one!!!Great event. Time was slow, but our main goal was to stay together till the end. Man that felt good when we passed the line together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He used a lot of effort getting between teams. Really unlucky as did not really help the legs. Well done on all 12, we just waiting for racetec to load 2 of our top 6. Should come in around 23rd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dommisse Posted November 24, 2014 Share This was my 6th DC - and according to me this was the best organised one so far. I also think the 2 stops worked well - beforehand I was dead set against it :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottelaryHillBuddy Posted November 24, 2014 Share My 3rd DC and 2nd with Team Action Frames our team improved our time with plus minus 50 minutes from 2013. All to hard work, dedication in training and good team spirit among the guys. Dirk Olivier is a good team captain planned the race very well for us and kept the guys together.
