Fo shizzle!

 

The running legs are coming along nicely - bring on the pain

 

I have a feeling this one is gonna be flatnfast...

[JCVenter]

Second one for me, will be better prepared this time....

Yep I'm In, race packs usually come on the Wednesday but haven't received mine yet. Spoke to Fritz at Trailseeker Saturday, he rates this one will be easier again than Hakahana (as hakahana was easier than Heia)... then we are gonna *** off at Van Gaalens at #4. Saw their Recce Ride on Strava of the Bike course, looks reasonably flattish (about 250m ascent) Should be Fun...

After Eldron beat me by 2min13seconds at the Dualx2, I realised my running sucks and I have decided to give up Duathlons.. kidding, need the time in the saddle, so have opted for the 6hr mtb at PBHS on Sat afternoon..

Fear of losing to hubbers is one of my biggest motivational tools

 

Kick ass at the 6hr!

Ooooooh! This should be exciting.

 

I reckon Brand will be faster on the bike and Richard faster on the feet. My money is on.........fark.........Brand :-)

I bet the physio at HPC 1kg biltong that Brand beats Richard, so you better be right!

Brand has done some amazing things on the mtb lately - multiple age group world champ. I also think he has the advantage on very technical trail runs.

 

Roodeplaat run will favour Richard more as it's less technical.

 

Bring on Saturday - it will be an awesome spectacle to see....for the first 1km :-)

[kingalton]

Brand first run at the last was 3:37/km - 2nd run was 3:44m/km - that is some fast running, especially offroad...

[Purnjap]

....for the first 1km :-) = exactly

(We musn't write off phil buys nê... one day is one day)

 

Brand first run at the last was 3:37/km = and on THAT terrain! but whether the flatter stuff will play against him this weekend remains to be seen

[Long Wheel Base]

Luckily we'll get to see the action unfold on tv .......much later . They usually finished with their bavaria already by the time I'm done

[Traverse]

I can't make this one:wacko:but will definitely see you guys at Van Gaalen!
