Mudsimus Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 I hope all the 2018 Comrades Novices are on theHub running Strava group. Can we rename the group on Strava? It still says "BikeHUB Comrades Marathon 2016"[/quoteIm on, but avoid it. Just makes me depressed atm????
Lexx Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 Jeez,im a lot broken after Saturday's 50km Monties. Climbing 3100m in 23km is not fun. And I got the scars to prove it. Ha ha ha. Hit the ground 2km from the finish, but did it like a pro..They could've scored me 10/10 for the duck,dive and roll. I just went into this race with the mindset of taking pics and gopro videos and enjoying myself. Sometimes you have to switch if this racing mode and and just enjoy the scenery. And I loved every minute of the suffering. SeaBee, Andrew Steer, CobusV and 6 others 9

Jackes Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 (edited) Two months later than last year. Apparently also some changes coming. Edited September 12, 2017 by Jackes Andrew Steer 1
Andrew Steer Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 Two months later than last year. Apparently also some changes coming. Very poor planning in my view... doesn't allow people to get organised and book etc as you won't know you've got an entry til mid Nov? Maybe even later. What can honestly be the delay... Hacc 1
Hacc Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 Good luck. But if you're gatvol, then may I suggest proctology? You made me laugh so hard now... Thank you! Fat Boab 1

And I loved every minute of the suffering.Brutal Race. The first 10km single track put brakes on my desired pace. It was soul destroying walking up to Sentinel car park ON A PAVED ROAD. So wrong. The path to the chain ladders had one or two places that tested my fear of flying, where the rocks were a bit "off centre". The way back was fast and awesome. The logs of the last three km's felt like an eternity of step ups. Worth doing at least once.
Jackes Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 Couldn't agree more... and the flight tickets are ridiculously expensive the longer you wait....I guess you can book the flight tickets before then? Exactly what I have done, flights and accommodation booked. Now they must just go and change the race date! Has anybody here done the PotatoPride Marathon in Frankfort?
Mudsimus Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 Comrades noob question again, are all sanctioned marathons Comrades qualifiers or only certain selected races?

Andrew Steer Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 The easiest one..Johnsons Crane or Vaal marathon if you're here in Gauteng...
Jackes Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 Johnsons Crane or Vaal marathon if you're here in Gauteng... Or any one in Bloem...
Chris_ Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 Kaapsehoop, its ALL downhill. Good practice for the down run Mudsimus 1
