#OMTOM 2019 Ultra entries are now closed. We have reached capacity. Due to entry load surge at peak times there were some delays, but thank you for staying the course with us. #RunAsOne

 

If their system worked properly it probably would have been sold out by midday...

 

Just glad I got in, but I think there are going to be some very sad pandas who have missed out..

 

Lottery system no doubt for next year

What irritates me most is that a truckload of people that have entered today, did so fairly sure that they're not going to pitch up on race, but they miiight... or hey, we can just sub later.

 

That escape route is too easy and stuffs it up for the rest of us.

 

Which means that a good friend of mine, who runs a sub-5 Oceans and 8h Comrades, but is an ICU doc and as such cannot hang around a PC during the day could very well be left without an entry and hoping for one of these subs.

Entry portal open again... I'm not sure they know what is cooking.

All the duplicate attempts maybe confusing the system a little

And entries closed again. For interests sake, how does Om die Dam compare to Two Oceans in terms of entries taken up?

Hahaha

Don't stress about Om die Dam entries

 

(Or maybe I'll be eating my words)

I thought you were going to ask "in terms of scenery". Om die Dam entries are extremely popular, except with people that have run it once before.

Does anyone here run in Hoka Speedgoat??  Im so annoyed, my Speedgoats are already tearing at 260km! The supplier says, "oh thats a common problem and they hope they have fixed it with the Torrents".....infuriating. R2000 is a heap of money to pay for shoes that in all likelihood wont survive past 500km.  My Asics Trabuco cost me a fraction of that and have done over 1300km and not a tear on them!

I have 2 pairs of Speedgoat 2's

The original pair tore above the pinky toe both sides at about 900km

2nd pair is still perfect at 550km

What's the max distance anyone here has done during a single treadmill session? 

 

23km.  Sometimes a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.     There is more enjoyable runs though..

It was an hour and a half, so probably around 15km's. Planned to do 21 but no, just couldn't

 

I want to have a crack at a 21km tonight. I'm predicting I'll start hallucinating at around the 18km mark.

Make sure the machine doesn't auto-pause (read counting) when you take more and more leisurely walks to the water fountain.
