[Event] Karoo To Coast

[Rouxenator]

So whats everyone doing the next couple of days leading to the event regarding training?

12KM commute to work in the mornings or tar.

23KM commute back home on the Eden/Coetzenburg trails in the afternoon

Oh, and 160KM Cederberg 100 miler this Saturday. 

 

It's a tried and tested routine

Good luck with that 160km.

Hope the wind stays away. Dit het ons lekker geklap laas Saterdag met die Tip Trans.

Thanks. As the weekend gets closer I am getting a little nervous about it. I know I have done it before, but still. Same thing with K2C when it gets closer to that weekend.

I checked on Windyty and it seems to be breezy on Saturday, but nothing too serious. Will be mostly from the side. At least, that is what is currently predicted...

Think about us rookies

Is there anyone that has a extra person perhaps who can drive our car the morning of the event back to knysna?

Might be able to help out.

Still deciding if I am going to ride on someone les's number. Every one is getting stupid with the cut off dates for subs.

Also still not fit enough though. I will see after Saturday's ride.

Dont know how well this will go LOL. since getting back to SA in May, i've ridden my MTB 3 times. been doing some training on the wattbike and the odd road ride. Anyway, let the fun and games begin    

[Rouxenator]

^^^ exactly - fun fun fun! Every ride is a fun ride. This is too, albeit a little longer and with scenic surroundings.

Am doing my tried and tested routine:

 

I have focussed on my recovery and nutrition since the last race;

Lubed chain and pumped wheels last Wednesday;

Did an hour on the Spruit to confirm all working;

Did a slow loop at the Cradle on Saturday and a slightly faster one on Sunday;

Will ride to the top at Breedts and back to Hekpoort this weekend;

Will focus on tapering and carbo loading next week;

 

Based on how I feel, I will know how slow I will need to start next weekend.

 

Either way, I will keep my powder dry until AFTER I have crested the hill at 58km. For me the race starts on the downhill thereafter and I always pass lots of enthusiastic starters up Simola hill.

 

For the first timers, don't over analyse it: you have trained enough to finish and enjoy the ride as long as you don't blow up by going too hard over the first half.

 

Treat it as a ride and just have fun.
