Ferret69 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Ja..mine have changed as well - not gonna do 2 oceans but am going to do Bergville or RouteTester..or both  Info on the Route Tester seems hard to come by at the Moment apart from its starting in PMB on the 17th April and heading to Hillcrest Harriers clubhouse on the Comrades Route If you get any more substantial info around times, etc etc please let me know,. We are gonna hire a Little Bus and come down from JHB with 12-15 of us so far...

Vinnydabutcher Posted January 21, 2016 Share Here is the plan : 31/01 - Johnson`s 42 - qualifying13/02 - Bronkhorst 32 - Simulation race pace28//02 - Delloitte 42 - Just HTFU and time on the legs - no racing05/03 - Sunrise Monster 32 - HTFU and time on the legs- no pace16/04 - Om die dam Ultra - Check out the expected race pace01/05 - Wally 42 - Expected race pace -15sec/km29/05 - Race day - HTFU, KD factor and get it done. I have 1 or 2 backups for qualifying in case something goes wrong. Dont want to have to race anything longer than 21 after March. Well, thats the plan. Ferret69 and ScottCM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
