dave303e Posted January 6, 2020 Share Yeah... Mine has been up to Maclears and up and down the mast a few times, but it's the being away from comms that's the issue. No Ants! Yoh.... Ants are racing other events during the year just not EA and I really think the Kingdom in Sky is not worth missing so ya I will race it. Haven't done an EA in a few years as well now. But ya can understand your side with comms etc. There will be other races to come... Jewbacca 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronniek Posted January 6, 2020 Share So far my only goal would be reaching Comrades injury free this year. I have entered Hohenorts 15km, Red Hill Marathon, Wietse’s Hemel en Aarde Marathon, Weskus (hopefully), Two Oceans and finishing off the prep with the False Bay 50km. Will probably throw in Tyger Run and Safari Half marathons as well. Jewbacca 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted January 6, 2020 Share No races entered yet, except for Maluti Double 90. My name doesn't appear on their entry list yet, but it's the only race I've committed to, so far.I plan to run the Edenvale 21Km, and possibly the Colgate 32Km (need to see if I can actually run/walk 32Km before attempting the Tough One (one day).

b-rad Posted January 7, 2020 Share Ben Parkes targeting a strong finish at Comrades. That pace would have him finish close to the gold positions. I wonder if he'll be in Nedbank International colours? Hacc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if he'll be in Nedbank International colours? IMG-20200107-WA0002.jpgLooking at his performance in the UTCT.... He has a long way to go. With the heat and the hills... Let's just say he needs to stay in Spain for the next 6 months to get ready Hacc and ScottCM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hacc Posted January 7, 2020 Share Interesting book to read when there is loadshedding: "How bad do you want it?" by Matt Fitzgerald https://www.takealot.com/how-bad-do-you-want-it/PLID34983347 Stretch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gripen_85 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Hi Hubbers,Is there a website like BikeHub, but geared towards running?I have fallen in love with running and I want to start increasing distances etc, so I am looking at getting some gear (rain gear, hydration vest/pack etc), but to get set up with new gear is mega $$$ as you know. So I am on the hunt for second hand kit. I know there is Gumtree, but I have had good results buying/selling off forums such as BikeHub. Many thanks!

There's actually Trailhub.co.za - the real non-starter cousin of bikehub. But it suffers a serious lack of visits, and I've had some tech issues with it too. But you never know what you'll find Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a magical book, honestly changed my life. Highly highly recommended. Hacc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_ Posted January 9, 2020 Share So.... If you guys are feeling generous in the new year, check out the Eden to Addo corridor initiative. I'm doing the run regardless, but it would be rad if I could throw some donation coin into the pot.... If you can, rad, otherwise maybe I will re ask after everyone gets paid on the 92nd of January! https://www.backabuddy.co.za/guy-twc Super jealous you're taking this beast on. I've been following the build-up and it looks absolutely epic. Def on my to-do list for when I get my big-boy running legs one day.

Jewbacca Posted January 9, 2020 Share Super jealous you're taking this beast on. I've been following the build-up and it looks absolutely epic. Def on my to-do list for when I get my big-boy running legs one day.Yeah.. I've been super lucky to have raced parts of it on various EA's down the years, so when Sian proposed this I couldn't resist! A lot of it is quite rough under foot, which will make it quite different to say, The Moab 240. I am SUPER excited! So, if you guys do have 2 dollar to throw into the pot (my pot or one of the other corridor warriors) it would be hugely appreciated! I'm going to run a competition after the 92nd of January so that everyone who donates R200 or more to my pot will go into the draw to win 2 nights in one of the Sea Facing apartments here; https://www.surferscorner.com/ There will be live tracking too, so that should make the 'race' pretty fun too!

Probably needs some zips and a few patches but it's a Large and it's yours if you come and collect it. If it could tell you stories.... Otherwise these guys have a couple of UltraSpire and UD packs at under a grand. https://thesavage.biz/ Rain Jacket the best option is one of these;https://www.trappers.co.za/products/mac-in-a-sac-jacket-origin-waterproof Light, fully taped seams, folds up the same size as a pair of socks and passes all equipment checks. What else do you need? Drop me a message if you want that vest. Edited January 9, 2020 by Jewbacca Andrew Steer and Frosty 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
