Carbon_Kooi Posted August 12, 2020 Share Would have been nice if the road surface was better, I would definitely visit Tom more often. Best I could manage up there was a 2:58 when training, but the race got the best of me and in 2019 and I only managed a 3:22. Would love to have another go in a race this year.

Jehosefat Posted August 12, 2020 Share Train your system to do that at the bottom of a hill. Weight saving.Problem is that my heart rate isn't at 190 at the bottom of the climb Underachiever and TNT1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase619 Posted August 12, 2020 Share So if this event takes place this year, what permit will allow travel to Gauteng from another province? (If level 3 lockdown is still in place) I presume if we were to be under level 3 and this event takes place, which i don't see those two going together, then nothing would legally get you to Gauteng.  Let's see what CR says this week, hopefully some good news for events Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCA12 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Lost 5kg during lockdown (Less caffeteria and coffee shop visits during work....), while still maintaining some level of fitness I really wanna see what that means going up Tom Jenkins at the Tshwane Classic with 80kms in the legs this time round.... Pleeeaaasssseee let this happen...I also want to test out my legs this time round. 28kg lighter than the last time I rode Tom Jenkins Should be easier Edited August 13, 2020 by JCA12 Nibali 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veebee Posted September 10, 2020 Share most people in SA are going on with life as if nothing is wrong, its like level 0.5 lockdown.Hope some events do happen, ready to jump into the car for a drive to Jozi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the "care" there is quite high. In the shops in our own suburbs, people are also masked and keeping their masks on. I have entered some shops after forgetting the mask at home and the shop owners have all been very accommodating, so this mask wearing is not being driven by the shops but rather by the community going to the shops. Yet, just two suburbs further the people apparently don't care at all. No masks, no sanitising at entry, nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea about restaurant turn-over and other aspects of life that is back to "normal". What would you present as an indication of "moving on in general"?

Frosty Posted September 16, 2020 Share Level 1 from 20/09, with a limit of 500 people for outdoor events. I can’t see government dropping level 1 before the end of the year. Wonder what this event will do if level is still in play. Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
