ridr Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 (edited) In Joburg there's a "duo" medal for those that complete 947 and 32km RAC Tough One, but these are a week apart. Your times for both events are added together and ranking well is a pretty big deal. Doing the same here would be very cool http://www.twooceansmarathon.org.za/events/ultra-prizes FASTEST COMBINED TIME: The Cape Argus/Pick 'n Pay Cycle Tour & Old Mutual Two Oceans (Man) Two Oceans Floating Trophy FASTEST COMBINED TIME: The Cape Argus/Pick 'n Pay Cycle Tour & Old Mutual Two Oceans (Woman) Two Oceans Floating Trophy Probably need about 2:45 cycle and sub-4hr run to be in contention (for the men)...

nicsname Posted March 26, 2018 Author Posted March 26, 2018 I did it a few years ago. Good fun ! I think the prize was a bag of coffee beans It was! Some delish Truth beans courtesy of Mr Donde
nicsname Posted March 26, 2018 Author Posted March 26, 2018 Are mountain bikers welcome Sure thing - the more the merrier! I'll probably be cruising at the back so you won't be last;) Joe Oliver and Hairy 2
lechatnoir Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 This may or may not be of interest... but on Saturday morning, there will be two ISS sightings... thisismyotherbike 1
Donovan Le Cok Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 I did it a few years ago. Good fun ! I think the prize was a bag of coffee beans Which reminds me, I never got the bag of beans... I did the first two. Will try and make this one.

Joe Oliver Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 Which reminds me, I never got the bag of beans... I did the first two. Will try and make this one. If you win this year, you'll definitely get your prize - they've just arrived in the post! thisismyotherbike, shaper, Donovan Le Cok and 1 other 4

Thanks for that, wasn't even aware of it! Seems silver Oceans runners are generally not into cycling.... The winning time in 2016 was 7:21:27, 2:52 CTCT and 4:29 Oceans. Excellent in both disciplines for sure, but not super-human. http://www.twooceansmarathon.org.za/sites/default/files/attachments/pages/TOM%202016%20CT%20Combined_0.pdf

Due to the cancellation of the Cape Town Cycle Tour there will be no Two Oceans Peninsula Iron Man Competition this year.

I haven't checked results before, but I know the guys that usually win it. And I know what shape they're in. Just depends on the year. This year I'm pretty sure it will be a 2:47 cycle and a silver Oceans that wins it. Those guys can ride and run flippin fast! Edited March 26, 2018 by ridr
clement Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 Sure thing - the more the merrier! I'll probably be cruising at the back so you won't be last;) For the slower amongst us that is looking at the fixie parked in the corner and wondering if this is a good idea or not, what average speed is "cruising at the back"?

I usually bonk as soon as I sit on a bicycle but lets say somewhere around 20 - 25km/h. Fast enough to make it, but slow enough to chat clement, Donovan Le Cok and Joe Oliver 3
