Thor Buttox Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 DEEP. POT. STIRRED. WITH. LONG. SPOON.Ignore Patch... He likes 20 hour mara-slogs without even shaving his legs,because aerodynamics is for planes, trains and automobiles.

Marlene14 Posted March 28, 2017 Author Posted March 28, 2017 DEEP. POT. STIRRED. WITH. LONG. SPOON.My thought exactly!

Thor Buttox Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 What on earth is mara-slogs? (Did try to google with no joy)Search this site for 'Desert Dash'. Patch will tell you he went out for a quick ride after breakfast and got lost, but actually it's a flippen hectic 20-odd hour solo dawdle* through the desert. Â * - it's not that

Will search it now...He does take his racing seriously. Some say he is Die Muishond. Â (Another cryptic reference to a new Hubber, I know, but hang around a while and it will all become clear )

But not good for my personality type...
Thor Buttox Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 Gee ... Seems like I have to decipher everything said... INterresting... But not good for my personality type...Nah, don't worry, it is all fairly obvious. Â (Die Muishond is the Hub's unknown maniac racer who's actual identity is still up for debate on Strava)

V12man Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 I am refering to the upcoming Clarens Ashburton MTB race... Which will be my very first race, preparing for my Karoo to Coast entry... I am 38, weigh 62, been circuit training for the past 7 years. Started MTB in January 2017. The weekend before I Did a flat 55km in 3:26... Distance was not an issue at all but the elevation is a different story. Thank you for all the comments, definitly widened my frame of reference! Even though its just a 45,I just want to prepare mentally as well...A bit of a wild ass guess - between 3 30 and 4 15. But a small tip - start slower than you plan to finish - pacing is a hugely important factor and your total time will be faster with a slow start and fast finish than a fast start and slow finish. Just ride your own race and have fun - don't fall off.
