Rob Mortimer Posted December 4, 2015 Share By George - more twists than an Agatha Christie novel. My nerves are not going to survive the last 200km's Also wondering if Grant slowing is not a mechanical issue as he stopped not long after the descent off the pass out of Sutherland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

River Rat Posted December 4, 2015 Share I think that descent might be a problem perhaps it comes down to who has the better lights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deon M Posted December 4, 2015 Share Going to be interesting to see who rests at the Tankwa Padstal and who pushes through. I think GU has enough rest in him to make it to Eselfontein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIPSLICK Posted December 4, 2015 Share Oaks, he is only human, after more than 8 x 94.7 we can expect the machine to climb slower Goooooo GU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket-Boy Posted December 4, 2015 Share I reckon position no.3 & no.4 is drafting? What do you think.Anyone know how to follow this live tracking on a iPhone?There is a mobile view tab on it, best would be to just use safari for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IH8MUD Posted December 4, 2015 Share Although the live tracking is used in the Epic it just seem to suit this kind if racing. This and the social media is really making this "edge of your seat" stuff, for me at least. Me and my bother have been following every kilometer closely and have been discussing and speculating, rooting for the leaders, wondering about those that lost the way and feeling for the backmarkers. I am in sitting Namibia and my brother is in Canada BC. This is such a useable platform full of possibilities to make it even bigger and better.As said by others earlier, I think the Munga is going get HUGE!! Thanks Nathrix for your time and diligent updates thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubbin Posted December 4, 2015 Share OK, chucked 500 ml of Yoghurt in to the pot to help neutralise the burn taste. Now I'm back. Looks like the front guys are having an epic battle of mind over body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmptyB Posted December 4, 2015 Share GU back to about 5.5km lead. From 950km to 1000km is gonna be crucial.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowbee Posted December 4, 2015 Share HS is back on route, realised her mistake early on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowbee Posted December 4, 2015 Share John is at 19km/hr so must be over the top of the climb - but GU is at 25 km/hr further down the pass. John is going to have to work really hard to not just catch GU - but over take. This is down to who rested the most during the race and is going to go on without stopping. This is all about resource management right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoke101 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Ok, so I had to go and check out that nasty fang of a climb. Turns out I had to plot it but it sure kicks, I took it from the river up and over and those last "S" bends probably average 25% so now you know why they were crawling.Edit: Here's the link if you want a closer look https://www.strava.com/routes/3736612 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
