Wil6 Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 Going to be interesting from now on especially the sleep tactics with the leaders only resting for a few minutes only.Definitely will be the deciding factor I think. Jaco Venter went for nap where the leaders did not. Interesting to see how the different tactics plays out over the next 12 hours.
Slowbee Posted November 30, 2017 Author Posted November 30, 2017 The gap between the front two and rest appears to be getting significant. might be hard to catch that up with the current pace they are riding
eddy Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 Definitely will be the deciding factor I think. Jaco Venter went for nap where the leaders did not. Interesting to see how the different tactics plays out over the next 12 hours. I see Dion Guy has moved for 22:36 in the first 23 hours, so only stationary for 24 minutes....
Long Wheel Base Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 Remember last year how Vaughn Roux went without sleep till I think Friday Morning and then had to pull out due to a hand problem. Wonder what the limit is for the human body to go without sleep while being physically and mentally active? Gen 1
edgarblount Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 Any idea what the cut-off times are? By when should they reach which point?

TrailWarrior Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 I speak under correction but I think this was posted by Mike Woolnough two weeks back on the Munga Whatssap group chat.........and maybe adds to some perspective of the Munga race and what plenty, if not all riders will go through...... "104 on the list. All immersed in the dream of finishing the Big One. Stats suggest that at least 40 of them, if not half the field, will have that dream crushed.It’s a tough race. The distance, time limits, road conditions and especially the weather will all conspire to convince you that you were unrealistic in thinking you could do a race like this. Self doubt will be a constant companion that sits on your shoulder and whispers the constant refrain, “Why are you doing this?” It’s a valid question but it’s best ignored." So far it looks like it is going well for most this year.........

dave303e Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 I think getting through last night without sleep shouldn't have been too bad, and with the sun up today they should be fine, but tonight you can be certain those sleep monsters are gonna come visit a few riders.I think those front guys are looking at 50 odd hour finnish so I reckon a few are gonna catch the odd sleep then smash the caffeine tablets and try make it to the finish... then again it is not fun waking up in a ditch still cleated in or fighting those sleep monsters
