fanievb Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 The Race Rules pdf is a bit muddled, has some info/dates from 2018 in it. I still agree with Waldo regarding the distance markers for the 2 x Rooiberg WP's, they seem to be out by about 10km as the other points are all correct? Don't see anything about the compulsory medical we had to do last year or am I missing something?I wonder if the difference is because they exclude the "neutral" section of the race
sucramuk Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 Anyone wanting to sell their solo 36one entry, I know entries are still open.
Dominik Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 Havent entered yet...Havent trained at all for this...on the verge to buy entry to complete my 5th SoloThe 36One is calling!!! hboli4 and TrailWarrior 2
fabes Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 Looks like a great event. Also haven’t trained a heck of a lot but I am doing Sani that weekend so couldn’t consider it even if I wanted to hboli4 and Dominik 2
hboli4 Posted April 24, 2019 Posted April 24, 2019 I wonder if the difference is because they exclude the "neutral" section of the race No I don't think that is the case. Neutral zone was about 4km's and according to my file from last year the top of Rooiberg was at 252km(excl neutral zone), they have that as the WP at the bottom and the top as 264km. Another indicator is that they have Calitzdorp at 280km which is correct but it is definitely not only 16km from the top of Rooiberg to CP3. What do you have from last year?

What do you have from last year? 257.5 from the start to where they had the WP at the top of Rooiberg (incl neutral zone) https://www.strava.com/activities/1522823669 last year there was also issues regarding the distances they gave. hboli4 1

Yip so that sounds about right. When Waldo mentioned it on this thread I remembered you also mentioned it in your race report last year. I emailed them about it yesterday to check but no response as yet. TrailWarrior 1

GAP Posted April 24, 2019 Posted April 24, 2019 Don't see anything about the compulsory medical we had to do last year or am I missing something?No need to go for one !!!!! hboli4 1
hboli4 Posted April 24, 2019 Posted April 24, 2019 Thanks for the heads-up on the medical guys. I just got an email back from them saying that the route team will check the distances queried and revert. GAP, TrailWarrior and EmptyB 3

Ironfist Posted April 24, 2019 Posted April 24, 2019 Can someone tell me.....is it possible to add the water points like a waypoint on an existing route? Or is there a way you can set up the garmin to give you an indication whats the distances between the water points or how do you guys remember the distances? Do you make a note and stick it to your handle bar? Just interested to know

I emailed them about it yesterday to check but no response as yet. Race office just replied to my email. The route team confirmed that the distances as per the website, specifically those for the 2 x Rooiberg WP's are incorrect and will be rectified on the website this week. They have the top of Rooiberg at 255km but did not specify whether this included the neutral zone, I guess it doesn't. TrailWarrior and EmptyB 2

Glad that is cleared up.Nothing worse when your mental as well as physical being is being pushed and you relying on your computer distance splits to keep you motivated to arrive at a "calculated" water-point and its not there ...... lol! hboli4 1
