johanpre44 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Anyone know who the photographers were? I know they got a couple of picks of me which I'm very keen to see. One was at a water-crossing where i did not make it through the way I planned, pretty sure they snapped the pick when I was wearing the oh-crap face.

Bigmozzarella Posted April 20, 2015 Share Incredible event. I love that race. Unreal scenery & trails! 3 cheers to the guy who pointed out a problem with my derailleur/chain. I probably would have broken something, and ended up high & dry, (actually wet). Def worth the time to fix and enjoy a trouble free ride. He must be a hubber. Give that man a bells. 0 cheers to the 3 stooges in the Nedbank kit showboating at 2km/h down the final single track - just refusing to to let a faster rider pass, not if you ask nicely, not if there's space, even if they're walking obstacles. Really had to exercise restraint to not go mental and screw up their outing. Maybe first big race, still learning trail etiquette. Maybe not hubbers. Give them a chance. Otherwise, unbelievable experience. Mr Winter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odinson Posted April 20, 2015 Share Wonder why so many of us struggled with cramps? Seems to have been very common with this race. Bigmozzarella 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanpre44 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Wonder why so many of us struggled with cramps? Seems to have been very common with this race. Don't know if this is good or bad news. I also cannot figure it out. Cannot be the elevation since Jhb is also quite high (I live at about 1650m, highest point in the marathon was just over 2000m). It also was not that cold. Maybe its the fresh air! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_David_ Posted April 20, 2015 Share I think it is because most of this race is on dirt-roads with a slight elevation. So it is easy to push yourself hard for a long period of time and if you are not use to it I think you will cramp.

Bianchi Baby Posted April 20, 2015 Share What an awesome weekend away. Husband had to pull out of the marathon at 50km due to mechanical then did the 45km yesterday on my bike (I got the weekend off ) And my little guy managed his second podium of the series after being in hospital a week ago Awesome weekend all round!

Francis1 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Great ride and also started with cramps, but backed of and sucked down loads of water and recovered for the last climb. As for the guy pushing his bike, I was informed by a friend who gave him a lift back from the 60km water point, that he rebuilt his bike the pervious evening as the original frame broke. In the race his crank failed. As for the other riders ""Kudos" . Decided to enjoy my first Clarens marathon and wow. The views were fantastic. Garmin indicated 72,4 km and 1579m climbing. Other stats were Top Speed 61,7 km/hr, Average Speed 17,8 km/hr, Kal 3659 burnt. On the last done hill we also got stuck behind an older rider who was far to cautions for me. He obliged my request and were he could moved over which opened up the experience of a lifetime. Will be back Bigmozzarella and flat29 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Travis. Posted April 20, 2015 Share My only gripe is that they didn't check which group you started in. Thus if you started later, they still took your original starting group of your time. Quite elementary really... Mr Winter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
