I'm more concerned about the identity crisis I am going through at the moment because of them, I got the mail with the update yesterday and it started , "Hi Matt" - I had to check my ID because until that mail I was sure I wasn't named Matt, now I have contacted Home Affairs because that email and my ID don't say the same thing ;)

 

 

Now that you mention I also got the email saying Hi Matt.  :eek:

Hi guys,

 

The "Hi Matt" was an embarrassing error on my part. We're administering the competition on behalf of the sponsors and an error on the email templates meant all went out addressed to me.

 

My apologies! It has been corrected for future emails. 

 

The email received reflects your badges as at 2pm yesterday afternoon. Any rides uploaded subsequently would not have reflected so it is likely you have earned additional badges since the email.

 

You can view what activities have been imported from Strava via this link: http://isuzutruckschallenge.co.za/activity

 

If any are missing please let me know and we'll look into it.

 

Regards,

Matt

Hi Matt,

 

Just looking for some clarification on the badge requirements - does the "ride 12 hrs in 7 days"/"climb 3 000m in 7 days" badges run over any consecutive seven days, or from Monday to Sunday?

Hi Matt,

It's the 7 days from Monday - Sunday in any of the 4 competition weeks:

 

Week 1: 20 - 26 April

Week 2: 27 April - 3 May

Week 3: 4 - 10 May

Week 4: 11 - 17 May

Just for clarity can the 4hours therefore also be done in any week.

Away with the family , not sure if i can get in a 4 hour ride but will do it if I have to get it in this week.

Yes, any of the badges which are based on a single ride can be completed at any time during the competition.

Will it be possible to show the number of people taking part?

There are 289 sign ups so far, climbing each day.

 

And maybe list the amount of badges earned thus far or contestants as per list above?

 

In total 1303 badges have been awarded (out of a possible 4046 - 32%), some even have all 14 badges already (all Joberg2c riders).

 

Here's a breakdown of the top spots:

14 badges - 4 participants

13 badges - 1 participant

12 badges - 2 participants

11 badges - 9 participants

10 badges - 9 participants

Did not think it would be possible for anyone to get this done in two weeks.

But if doing multi stage race , I can understand it.

 

At least no one achieved all the badges in the first day, as some of  challenges ran on strava.

If it wasn't for the timing of events like Joberg2c and Trans Karoo, it would have taken a bit longer I'd think (at least another week).

 

The idea is that it should be challenging, but still possible to do with training alone.

 

I'll post some stats updates shortly.
