kingalton Posted March 10, 2014 Share Buffelspoort went well.. like kingalton said, very tough race.. and that hill hurts.. alot! especially second time around. also ended up averaging just over 34 for the bike.. so must have come in around the same time as you kingalton?what distances did you get for the race? my garmin clocked 2.2km for the swim? Tough climb indeed.. Did a 5:14 overall, 31 swim, 2:46 bike, 1:51 run.. Bike was 95 km, run was 20.7 MrFine 1 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/137021-buffelspoort-ultra/page/2/#findComment-2235705 Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawnvan Posted March 10, 2014 Share Yep, I got 2185m for the swim, including the portage and run to transition, so about 2100 actual swimming... My bloody chain kept dropping off my chainring in 10th gear for some unknown reason, so had to go up Sugarbush in 9th (23 tooth). Not ideal... Awesome race otherwise, finished top-10 overall Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/137021-buffelspoort-ultra/page/2/#findComment-2235723 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome race otherwise, finished top-10 overall sorry just read your message now.. yea 2100m of swimming sounds about right for the times.. were you the guy who came 4th? saw his chain come off on sugarbush.. Think I was chasing you on the run, but couldnt catch you..

shawnvan Posted March 10, 2014 Share 7th - 5h12 I was the dumbass that also fell at a water station and did the rest of the race with sweat marinading my roasties... Lost about 5 minutes on the bike with all the dropped chains and the fall.
