ScottCM Posted March 10, 2015 Author Posted March 10, 2015 Just came to me, this event had a lot of talk about new route vs old route in terms of difficulty and climbing etc. But i don't recall anyone mentioning how their race time improved in the new route over the old one. So hear it goes, last year was my second 947 and i did it in 3H40 in a mostly solo ride starting in the charity batches. My previous attempt was completed in 4H29 in a total solo ride starting in the SS batches as it was my first ever event. Time improved sees a nett time gain of 49min Who else bettered their time on the new route?
Li Mu Bai Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Stayed consistant. I found the start harder as it went straight into uphill, and attack in VC.
Wyatt Earp Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 No ability to chase leading groups down, no ability to race with the manne, but I will be there for a saunter around Jozi .
CAAD4 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 I'm hoping for a shortened route.... I am carbo loading already.....
