NotSoBigBen Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Mmmmmm I have some unfinished business at Barberton
HOEKVLAG Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Gonna attempt the Ultra for the first time next year....
Lexx Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Gonna attempt the Ultra for the first time next year.... Its not that bad. The last 500m to the finish line is the best part... The other Parts we don't want to talk about. It Hurts too much!!!
River Rat Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Gonna attempt the Ultra for the first time next year.... Hoekvlag, is Springbok up for this one or has the defeat by Japan got him crying in his beer?
HOEKVLAG Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Hoekvlag, is Springbok up for this one or has the defeat by Japan got him crying in his beer?He's had a rough couple of weeks because he was at Loftus the week before and experienced the first half humiliation by the Lions. By now that is insignificant compared to the Springbok defeat, but it still hurt... He's definitely going to Barberton - also considering the Ultra this time around! We're doing the Berg & Bush together in a couple of weeks and use it as the start of the base training for Barberton...
HOEKVLAG Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Its not that bad. The last 500m to the finish line is the best part... The other Parts we don't want to talk about. It Hurts too much!!! It can't be that bad - everybody goes back to do it again...
Lexx Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Nah, its not that bad. Its just the heat that makes the last 20km seems very very long...
River Rat Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 He's had a rough couple of weeks because he was at Loftus the week before and experienced the first half humiliation by the Lions.

We're doing the Berg & Bush together in a couple of weeks and use it as the start of the base training for Barberton... Good luck with Berg & Bush if you haven't done it it's a great race. As for Barberton I'm looking at making a come back on Dusi Canoe Marathon next year and if all goes to plan I won't be able to do Barberton if the plan falls apart I'll be there for the Marathon.
River Rat Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 If you are a first timer and considering doing this race here's an account of my first Barberton Marathon which may or may not convince you... https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/147338-ons-gaan-nou-braai/

Good luck - hope it works out, but Barberton's not a bad backup plan...
