Pure Savage Posted March 22, 2017 Share Christo is the Brand Manager for the Cape Epic, and a keen Hubber. I don't envy him having to talk on TV, I'd be nervous as anything! Give him a chance, he's got some great insights.Not the same Christo that knits socks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give him a chance, he's got some great insights.To be fair, he is getting more comfortable and making a lot of sense and is probably doing a much better job than I would do. Although maybe I am just getting soft, because even Gerald is starting to sound pleasant now. Maybe I have been away from SA too long.

It must be awful that the feed keeps cutting and then you are on camera having to find something to say. The live stream and commentary has been great!

SwissVan Posted March 22, 2017 Share found the actual show on DSTV/catchup now. http://now.dstv.com/catchup/program/a7bc6b5a-b674-45f0-8673-35d89001ff83?&acc_pg_sec=catchup%20search%20tabok my bad, then. Was out of town all weekend, doing amongst other things, riding my bike. I searched everything from SS4-SS9. The supersport tv-guide is so blerrie useless you have to search channel by channel. I have never seen cycling on SS2 before. You're welcome to call me a poephol for not undertanding how DSTV schedules their programs, but remember they have a long history of treating the TV-Guide as nothing more than a rough guide of what could possibly be on the channel at that time. Plenty of times have tried recording something but the actual broadcast channel changes ja I am. they've got Algeria, Belgium, Tunisia, Slovakia, Ukraine, Portugal but not South Africa.Did they have Switzerland ???????? I have yet to find it on a Swiss channel.... luckily I get the Bike TV channel and they also have a delayed broadcast in the evening but then the bladdy satellite signal starts messing around and records a lot of ZESSo I watch it on the CE you tube link from email....????

fabes Posted March 22, 2017 Share That's gonna HURT. Oh, ja. And they're all pussies. 60km in 40plus degrees is a walk in the park... Organ failure, schmorgan failure... HTFU. Yeah, right. Anyone who does that, in that heat, deserves respect for the sheer willpower that it requires to carry on pedalling. Strikes me that whilst people may be getting adequate hydration, are they getting adequate electrolyte supplementation? They must be secreting enormous amounts of sodium / potassium / mag etc. May be worthwhile for some to get salt tabs just to replace the stuff they lose on such hot and long efforts.

@grootlem Posted March 22, 2017 Share In my opinion the main reason for riders not making it is trying to ride too fast for their fitness levels. If your aim is just to finish and not 'dice' that other guy, eat and drink well, manage the cut off times, you should make it. It is crazy how people go out from day 1 at the same pace as their local club or buddy rides at home. You need to have a rule for day 1 to 3 where you dont go over a certain average heart rate and stick to it. But as soon as you throw a 100 guys in a bunch its a race of some kind. I have finished an Epic where I dont think i was ever in the red because i had a partner that didnt really prepare and we had to look after him. i've also had Epics where I was fitter and almost didnt finish because I was trying to race.
