Karman de Lange Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 I am lucky if I can get 3 hours training in a week. This weekend I am in the feed and tech zone for my son doing the XCO at Paarl. That is 3/4 of the Saturday gone. Sunday is family day. I usually try and get an afternoon in the week at Helderberg Farm on the red route up and down. And maybe 2 weekends a month on the road to either Stellies or Rooi Els and back. Oh, and some Wednesday evenings I am at the Wannabees Time Trial at Southeys. I am so jealous of guys that can get a 100km+ ride in per week. I'm also on the 5 - 11 hrs / week .. I never do >100km on training rides. Think I had 3 rides the last year that was more than 100km and they were all "fun rides" (99er, ppa, etc). My Training plan was mostly LSD ~2-3.5 hrs on weekends and lots of interval type training of (1 - 1.5hrs) in the week.. I did few 4 hrs cycles to grabouw to support better half at her open water swims, think that helped alot. Just plan around your life, there always a hr or 5 gap waiting for something/someone.

dev null Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 I broke 5hrs after being on route for a 6hr but my saddle really started hurting my ass at the bottom of chappies so I got out of the saddle and caught onto the back of a group of MTBers in USN kit going really fast and flew to the finish. Next year I'll fit my dualie saddle and not that holsaag of a Fizik on my hardtail Those USN ysters also passed me. No ways I could stick with them, they were way too fast.
andrefrx Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Please anyone out there. I am really pleased to have completed this Argus with a PB, but so disappointed that I cannot find any footage of the Elites going up Suikerbossie. The DSTV highlights skipped from Chapmans to Clifton. Do advise or point to any footage that may be out there. A
WaldoZ Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Errrr... are they screwing around with the results? My second round result disappeared and my time has all of a sudden improved for the first lap Donovan has taken his rightful place as winner of 1A though so they must be doing something
Velouria Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Awesome commentary! And my right sock and shoe makes an appearance at 1:17 My butt, with Phil saying "Load the missiles into the tube" is just after that and 1:18
B20 Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Had a chat with them seems they from all over the world. Rode with them until my chain came off going up chappies had to get off as it twisted. Came in with a 3:05 I had a green Nulandis top on.I remember this. As Chappies started you were on the right hand side of the road. It looked like a tangle mess. Glad you sorted it.I had the same issues on the 99er. After replacement derailleur, it was sorted.

Bianchisti Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 I always thought we get around 800/900 or so sub 3's a year. Only 837 sub3's this year. Thought it shouldve been more what with the good weather?
