Attakwas 2020

['Dale]

Undertrained. Terrified. Doing it anyway

 

1. Taper lekka. Get there fresh as a daisy.

2. 1/3 slow as a snail. 2/3 steady does it. 3/3 pretend you are Mathieu.

3. Don't chase wheels. 

4. Don't eat big at water stops.

5. Fun, adventure, fun, adventure, fun.

Sage advice which I'll take!

Dale thats probably the best advise iv seen posted for a long time! Thanks mate! 

 

What sort of bike related stuff are you carrying? I normally carry the usual bombs, plugs, one tube, lever etc. Is there anything here you can help with?

Pleasure, @Warrenlee

I work with professional and elite athletes and their ability to perform and, thus, can add some input around competitive strategy.

No plans to do the race yourself Dale? Would like to hear the ex-roadie's first-hand opinion on this bastard!

Away with work, Skubarra

I do admire the race from a distance. 

Fantastic challenge.

Any Single Speeders doing it?

Last big ride done and dusted yesterday! Now recovery rides all the way to the event. 

 

4 Peaks Challenge yesterday was amazing! Temperature going up Montagu was insane!

I've got a guy from Zim (Sam) working by us and everytime I get frustrated and yell out "blacksam" he answers and ask me why I called him. [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji298] Edited January 5, 2020 by BSG

Doing my 4th one this year, start relaxed and start to race after the Spur water point, this is where the race begins. Many people and my stupid self has raced from the gun and then after water point 2 you start to feel those dogs biting. Pack a good electrolyte fuel in your bottle and use the water points, they are well stocked.
