knippie Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Who out there is training for the Trans Baviaans and how's the training going?
Dragson Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 It is was going ok. I just got some bad news today. I am going to the Congo for 3 weeks and will only be back on the 15th of August. So don't know how I am going to keep fit.
sampie Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Not to good, have to go up few gears training wise. This is one race you HAVE to be fit for.
mon-goose Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 training is ok. I've never done it before so don't know how fit I should be. This rain doesn't help but aiming to do 10hrs riding a week for now, not much I know. We've also tried to organise a few longer group rides before the trans just so our legs have done sone sort of distance riding
Dragson Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Take your bike with? This the CONGO we are talking about. Yet again I will get some good Sprinting "for my life" training in. Getting shot at will be a good motivator to ride faster
Dragson Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Kinshasa. It is not that bad there. The problem is getting the bike there and back. The bike will probably only get there a day or two before I leave
knippie Posted June 12, 2008 Author Posted June 12, 2008 At last my head is right for training and have been doing 11hrs a week.Started with 100km then 120km want to do 150km this weekend.2007 I was the fittest I've ever been and my partner and I came in 2nd of the ladies. This year I'm still looking for a partner as my partner did the Epic and is wasted for the next 4 months at least. Will have to train hard the next 2 months to at least be fit enough.
Velouria Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 Training - what training? I plan on getting 5 weeks of training in when I got back from my holiday. By then any sign of Epic fitness will also be gone. Yet again I am going to ride this race on experience, and not fitness
Velouria Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 Yip - done them all so far - this is the last one. Retiring from this race after I get my 5th medal. Suprisingly, we did just under 12 hours last year, and that is with me walking BergPlaas hill as I had completely bonked! That was also an "ride on experience" and it seemed to work out ok.
