Shebeen Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 So, has anyone entered this yet? 2.5km swim, 90km mtb 21km trail run.R1500 entry. Seems like the real deal, same okes as transkaroo mtb race. Know the area pretty well the start/finish is the amazing Bells fly fishing lodge (which has unfortunately crumbled to a heap of cr@p). I think the lap format has forced the route away from what could have been something quite spectacular(esp the run route), but that's just the way things work. http://enduroman.co.za/index.htm
Red Zone Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Not entered yet, but plan to enter soon, looks like a nice event, going to be a toughie. Lank expensive though
mon-goose Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 looks tough. If they had a team option I'd offer to do the swim for a team... but they don't
Disylizzy Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 So if it's in September, that means plenty of time to train

(Say, maybe a bag of speckled eggs in a picnic?!)
Shebeen Posted February 3, 2014 Author Posted February 3, 2014 I will enter and we can put a prize on it Shebeen? (Say, maybe a bag of speckled eggs in a picnic?!)I just wonder if I'll pass you on the bike or can you hold out till the run?
Snytjie Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 I'm only starting my enduro MTB and trail running 'career' in April this year after the season's road- tri events. I don't think I'll be up for this in Sept as I plan to learn the basics through the 'off-season'. But it looks like a really great course and I'll definitely keep an eye on the event for next year...

MK Killer Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 This race sounds incredibly hard - 2500m of climbnig on the bike leg and 350m of climbing each run loop x3 How fit do you need to be for this type of race - iron man fit?

Shebeen Posted April 30, 2014 Author Posted April 30, 2014 Is the MTB leg very technical?going to go with my unverified idea of where the route will be to say - no.there will be the odd steep rocky section up and down, but a lot of forestry tracks. this race is all about the distance. organisers seem to be monitoring this, AND they just sent out a mailer saying that entries are limited. i'm sitting on the fence a bit for now...lots to happen between now and then.
BlinkFan Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 So if it's in September, that means plenty of time to train Plenty of time to rain you mean ;-)
