Cyclists with a "Running" Problem

[SwissVan]

So Andrew, next year you only planning on doing 300km of training and smashing a BR?

Rule # 2 of the training bible:

 

Never believe your training “buddies” when it comes to how much training they say they are doing / done

[ScottCM]

[Andrew Steer]

While the Comrades hype is still in the air... Which option are you leaning towards at the moment:

 

1. I am never ever putting myself thru that pain again

2. I am going to train very hard for next year it is going to be so much easier, even if it is an up run.

It's crazy how quickly we forget...

 

My wife, absolutely 100% adamant it was up/down, finish and klaar... she's already talking about next year   

 

I am definitely going with option 2 though

 

 

[Stretch]

Still, this guy gets the award for the strongest kick at the end of an ultra. 3rd fastest and 19th fastest person through Mayville and the finish. Hmmm…

Expand a bit more? Is this an official finisher? If so this person cheated for sure

[Hacc]

I have been thinking hard about it and I am also leaning towards option 2.

If I can finish Comrades with a serious pain in my butt, imagine how Comrades would feel being 100% healthy (and fit)

[Hacc]

Traffic must have been bad that last 9kms... whatadoes

Name and Shame

To be honest...I don't see myself doing another one. I didn't have nearly as much FOMO as I anticipated this year... But..... Never say never

In sympathy with you I've decided I won't do Comrades then either.

 

But....... I'm turning 40 in a month's time. So I'm due for a midlife crisis.

I retract this slightly..in 2 years times my one mate will be running his 20th and another two will be doing their 10th... Seems like a fitting year to run in solidarity with them... It will also give me opportunity to take some revenge on the down run
