hboli4 Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 I think that data refers to since previous WP. And 3:32 hours is actually 0.03.32 hours, i.e. three-and-a-half minutes. Might also be due to his tracker acting up at the start. According to the times he arrived at the first three points he arrived at all three in the same amount of time.
Shebeen Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 it looks like HV tracker data is not accurate, he was offline first day and it was never adjusted up for time but the distance was. I think that data refers to since previous WP. And 3:32 hours is actually 0.03.32 hours, i.e. three-and-a-half minutes. i think it is definitely DD:HH:MM Moving Time 1:18:19 Stopped Time 0:03:32
Chingy182 Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 Pardon my ignorance here, but this is the first time I hear of this ultra marathon event (despite having seen the name of the event previously)... When these guys catch a nap, do they carry with them a little pop-up tent and sleep at the side of the road or are there designated sleeping sites enroute or something?
dirtypot Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 Pardon my ignorance here, but this is the first time I hear of this ultra marathon event (despite having seen the name of the event previously)... When these guys catch a nap, do they carry with them a little pop-up tent and sleep at the side of the road or are there designated sleeping sites enroute or something? There are designated sleeping spots, and a lot of the guys will just sleep on the side of the road for a 20 minute power nap. Nobody carries tents though...
JJDT Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 @Chingy there are dedicated places where you can sleep called Race Village. You can carry a tent but extra weight and you can sleep wherever you want on the route if you would like to take a nap.

taito Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 RB is now on the way to a nasty little climb before the Tar road to Ceres.Then you turn of onto ground road with serious downhill into town.the RV is hard to find ,not marked at all. He will most likely just sign in and out and then to Bainskloof

I FLY Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 I need to let my kids get a bit older first. This race would require a lot of training and I don't have that sort of time at the moment. I keep telling my wife I want to do it, she hasn't said no so I am setting a goal of a 2020 entry. I am busy with the lack of sleep training in a big way so by then I should have that side of things sorted . I have the opposite problem. My wife is keen to do this race . Me, not so much.
Jensie Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 You can read here, gives you a great insight about the Munga. https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/179021-munga-musings-from-a-novice-part-123/?hl=mungaoh and from the article "classic" There are no stages. No breaks. 1100km, one-time-shoe-shine. And that’s the beauty (I think) of this race. You are treated like an adult. You decide when you stop, whether you sleep or not and whether you give up or not. Pardon my ignorance here, but this is the first time I hear of this ultra marathon event (despite having seen the name of the event previously)... When these guys catch a nap, do they carry with them a little pop-up tent and sleep at the side of the road or are there designated sleeping sites enroute or something?
Eldron Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 The Dutch express about to hit the 1,000km mark. Those kinds of distances boggle my mind!
JJDT Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 It is just incredible. 1000km in under 48hours. Huge respect to this man.
Jensie Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 Wow RB just hit 1000kms and the backmarkers not even at 500....
Shebeen Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 looking at the race profile, once after sutherland it just looks like this http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--ooRtsWyF--/alz6scd1nmwszzkjlhfd.jpg
