Must say that this was the best Nissan Marathon i've ever done! well done Johan, Hakahana really kick ass!

 

Don't stop with what you are busy with, the enduro section was soooo sweet!

 

Had loads of fun!

 

Got a question for some guys that can climb really good : When you come past on a climb we always let you guys pass, no questions asked. you can climb, so well done, climb past us we think you rock.

 

WHY O WHY O WHY don't you let the guys that can descent better than you pass you?

 

you make good time on the climbs(we respect that), we make it up on the down hills.( you hate it)

 

This wasn't at the back somewhere trying to overtake the slower batches. In the A batch top 30 riders.

 

Next time if you get stuck behind some slow rider on a climb, say hi Staalburger!

Wow. That new section next to the road leading to xanadu caught me. Also the last 20 had me muttering. Well chuffed with my time though.

Hmmmm. Not my best race. Think i might put in a warranty claim on the bike engine. It broke way too often in second half. Missed the split and joined the half marathon after last water point. Grrrrr. Will submit DQ. Not that i am complaing as not sure i wanted to carry on. i think i should have trained harder, worst cramps i have had.

What a hard day .Finished the marathon in 4h56 .Cramped from 90minutes in the race and got lost halfway and rode an extra 8 minutes looking for the route .Punctured on the best surface we rode all day .Safe and unhurt after those descents i will take any day .Rode on a hard tail today .I missed my full suspension bike from the start

Well I did the half marathon, but I can't find my name on the results list. It's as though I have just vanished, a bloody ghost.

 

I was there on time the guy scanned my number board and still said my name to me.

 

Besides that the half marathon was a good ride.

That was a power race, my legs were finished by the last ten kms, every time i saw the end was near they would send us back to the top. Well done Johan and the trailseeker team.
