Duane_Bosch Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) I make no fitness claims but I've been working my ring off to get strong enough for this event. I did the full duro route 2 weeks ago just to make sure I can actually make it round. Edited October 5, 2019 by Duane_Bosch Hairy, Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, Jewbacca and 1 other 4

PhilipV Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 LOL dude. No way you were fit enough for this one. This is some ezel level Rocky balboa level training needed for this one. Even in my final form (ezelesque) I would have been a DNF for this one. Just be thankful you have a cold.Only a friend can throw someone under the bus like that.  Et tu Brute? Eina.

Vetseun Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) Only a friend can throw someone under the bus like that. Et tu Brute?Eina.Im not his friend and I fully agree.Lets be realistic.Talks a massive game and dishes advice out left, right and centre before the event.Totally mediocre performance during the event.Three pages of excuses after the event.And then ...... An undertaking to be better prepared and do better next time (It wont happen)Says on the weight loss thread that he has stagnated because he cant train because of a number of reasons.Says here that he was ready and fit for this event.I have friends who have worked their guts out for this event. They are terrified for tomorrow.Easy to say, I was fit and ready. But you arent partaking in the event. So your statement will never be tested. Edited October 5, 2019 by Vetseun
V18 Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 I have no issue with being unfit. It's a choice. Maybe not the healthiest but there are far worse things... Like turning right at a circle in the go straight or left lane. It's cathartic admitting that you are SLEG. Being sleg is OK. Not being ready for a BEAST of a jonkershoek Enduro is 100% ok. Dropping out due to a viral illness is advisable. My excuse tho. I've had a SLEG year. Proud of the noncycling things I've achieved whilst eating biltong and simbachips in the office and the study.

Hairy Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 You're fit but my gosh, don't you know it......   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEIRNj0EmH0The fact that knew that this track even existed is rather disturbing!
Hairy Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 Will it be fair assumption that Hoogies will be empty tomorrow morning when I get there?  Best wishes to all of you and have a blast out there T-Bob 1

Much like you're not allowed to write up about your experience in the event unless you finished the event. Having a 'friends doing the event' doesn't get a pass card! Edited October 5, 2019 by T-Bob Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and Hairy 2

Get off your high horse you bêckstebber. Tsek!It's comfortable under the bus. There's less wind and rain. A bit more oil than I'm used to, though.Â

So your statement will never be tested.No need to start public shaming Vetty. Did they work their guts OFF at the same time? I'm probably the most un fit I've been since I spent a 6 months in bed/wheelchair and had to learn how to use my right arm to write etc after totalling the left hand side of my body in an accident in the 90's. Having a 7 week old baby while running your own businesses AND having no will power to refuse sweeties will do that. I am however more afraid of the middle section of Plumber than I am of being fit enough to get around the course. Winching yourself up to those trail heads 4 or 5 times isn't actually as bad as everyone is making out.  When I hop on the bike later this morning I will have ridden 3 times in 3 days! Which I haven't done in a long time! Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, Hairy and T-Bob 3
