IceCreamMan Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 Thanks, luckily we are staying in the road lodge at the finish so my "Ironfan" can duck in and out the hotel as needed and rest up during the day. Every year I have stayed at road lodge,best place in PE to stay.... Getting fomo already ...darn gonna miss the atmosphere but will be lying on the couch watching. Used to drink cuppacinos and just chill at the cafe below Barney’s on a Friday afternoon and watch the ocean.
Carmichael Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 Booked in at tsogo sun. Driving up on the Thursday already
travisza Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 I would suggest Millard Crescent, stayed there twice, about 2.5kms to the start.Also has braai and kitchen area. Highly recommended!Very late reply but I've stayed here too and its a good base.
_David_ Posted January 18, 2019 Author Posted January 18, 2019 Thanks Shaper, So they are only giving out the Low GI version. I guess I'll give that a go or just use water and gels. I'm sticking to my own nutrition. I have tried the Carbogen and it is just too sweet for my liking.
ScottCM Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 2 Months to go Anyone else way behind the eight ball at the moment?
KnavishStream Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 2 Months to go Anyone else way behind the eight ball at the moment? Not too sure where I am sitting (with it being my first one) ... After a 3 week holiday of doing nothing in Europe, I hit the training in earnest on the 7th January. Since then, training has been consistent - averaging around 45kms of running per week and 150kms cycling. Noteworthy sessions including Johnson Crane marathon and a 160km ride to Bela Bela. Have Jeppe half coming up this weekend and Race to the sun on the following weekend. Am still yet to get into the pool and need to start spending more time in the saddle. A mate's bachelors in Mozam the weekend before PE will also make things interesting...
Carmichael Posted February 14, 2019 Posted February 14, 2019 Also doing around 5k swim per week, around 40km per week run and 2 rides a week with one being circa 150. Getting nervous..this running thing after loongg ass cycle is something else

KnavishStream Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 Does anyone know what British Airways' allowance is with regards to bike bags? is it an extra charge or can it be your 'checked-in' baggage like with Kulula?
IceCreamMan Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 FOMO IM SA has been my life for the last 4 years. This year I am on the couch. Good luck to all. I will be watching
