Andrew Steer Posted December 3, 2018 Posted December 3, 2018 Such a cool event... wish I had this in me. Maybe one day.Massive respect to all the finishers, and even those that didn't quite make it... such a challenge to undertake.Really love all the new 'ordinary' heroes who this brings to the fore.Til next year Dot Watchers
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted December 3, 2018 Posted December 3, 2018 Yes...saw the video and they said she finished @ 11h52 Sjoe!!! That is cutting it close!!!! I have to say... Massive, massive respect for these backmarkers. The time in the saddle over such a short (long) period must be absolutely excruciating. Add that to the mental battles they must have to deal with, just makes their finishing all the greater.
dannygirl Posted December 3, 2018 Posted December 3, 2018 Was sat in a meeting and kept refreshing on my phone - and she kept being stuck on 1072.5!!! Yo, my heart has taken a beating with all this dot-watching...
shova1 Posted December 3, 2018 Posted December 3, 2018 Unbelievable! I'm more in awe of Nina right now than Ramses.....a wonderful & fitting finale to the amazing race called Munga. My utmost respect to all those that attempt this odyssey & an almighty well done to the finishers.
JJDT Posted December 3, 2018 Posted December 3, 2018 My respect to both Ramses with his incredible win and Nino with her preserverance in order to finish. To all the others respect for starting and also to the others who did not finish due to various reaons. To the non finishers my message will be to look at Chris van Zyl who tried 3 times before finishing the race and also Karina Britz who gave it all this year after not finishing last year.
CASSIE1975 Posted December 3, 2018 Posted December 3, 2018 How many riders started, around 135-140? and how many official finishers were there this year please?
peetwindhoek Posted December 3, 2018 Posted December 3, 2018 How many riders started, around 135-140? and how many official finishers were there this year please? Nina got medal number 108. Think around 140 entries.
CASSIE1975 Posted December 3, 2018 Posted December 3, 2018 Nina got medal number 108. Think around 140 entries. that is quite a high % of finishers in 5 days time...almost 80% - well done to all
peetwindhoek Posted December 3, 2018 Posted December 3, 2018 that is quite a high % of finishers in 5 days time...almost 80% - well done to all Yep. I think this is not the type of race/ride that someone thinks about the week before and then do it. This is not a "main stream" event. Thus, the majority that enter have a very good chance of finishing.
Slowbee Posted December 3, 2018 Posted December 3, 2018 Freaking AWESOME! That mental battle in her head to stay ahead of that cut off and not give in. Man that is amazing, it is one thing to not give up - but another to not give up when things are so tight !
ichnusa Posted December 3, 2018 Posted December 3, 2018 I never thought of doing Munga, but am starting to do so now... Well done to all!
