Gen Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 But ur hakahana skills will have you chasing him again this year ????[emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] I will be the one with padding everywhere[emoji12] possibly also bubble wrap. Speaking of hakahana.. what bike are you going to ride at the monster?
ACM Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 This race still scares the living daylights out of me. Have done 3 halfs. Would love to do the full, but extremely nervous about cramps on a tough ride like this. Did Van Gaalen marathon last year in 5:45, did Barberton marathon this year in 5:10 (cramping from 30km into the race and it's not fun). I believe this race is just a nodge harder than Van Gaalen marathon. Correct?

Speaking of hakahana.. what bike are you going to ride at the monster?cannondale trigger 29r ( not a lefty) ???????? my new toy to do distance on.You guys?
canfan Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Hardtail is just fine for monster....So what will be better for the half, Hardtail or Dual sus? Can't decide what to use.
Pikey Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 So what will be better for the half, Hardtail or Dual sus? Can't decide what to use. for me dual always wins..
GlockG4 Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Thinking of doing the monster the saturday and the platinum trail run(24km) the sunday. Anyone keen on being my training partner? Not looking at times, just finishing both.

ACM Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 have you every tried Magnesit...Not Magnesit, but magnesium supplements. Have you? And does it work for you?
Paulst12 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Not Magnesit, but magnesium supplements. Have you? And does it work for you?Nope... VG marathon harder imoKeep in mind though that its in similar areas so the technical aspects are similar. Just the monster has concrete strips, so that makes it easier than the "concrete climb" at VG
Musketeer Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 So what will be better for the half, Hardtail or Dual sus? Can't decide what to use. I have done all my MM's on a hardtail, might be the first year that the Anthem get's the nod instead of the XTC. Ride what you feel comfortable with.
Pieter1 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 The drive back to jhb was the worst, after 8h on the bike, mad cramps and two frosties. I would stay over next time.
pellieg Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Not Magnesit, but magnesium supplements. Have you? And does it work for you?i have tried all other mag supplements as well ,and this one works the best for me, you get them in sachet form so i even mix them with my water on a race,
