The 5-6 I was referring too are the ones that burn for 7 minutes. Most of the climbs, in the group I start will be less than than 7 mins. Example: averaging 350W for 5 mins is a fat match, compared to a 20s match that could be 500-600W (closing a gap after a turn). Edit: and the shopping is the training required to do 5x5min efforts back to back. Edited November 4, 2021 by Frosty shaper 1

In 2019 I did 4:01 and have now been seeded in J group. Was quite surprised because don't think i can do much better than 4 hrs. Looking at the profile the challenge for me will be not riding too hard for the first 60km, to leave some legs for the uphill last 40km. Chadvdw67 1

Lower entries this year plus the lack of race results over the last 18 months, means your time/seeding could very well be correct.

And if you need to contact them, email and whatsapp gave me no joy. But the following number at the end of the contact page got me to a human finally (tel:+27120125205)
Frosty Posted November 8, 2021 Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) Not sure if they've modified the route, so I've updated the route on GC. I'm still unsure of the route at the M1/M2 junction, as they show M2 East (which takes on onto the lower deck on the double decker). https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course/54734321 947 2021.zip Edited November 8, 2021 by Frosty BouncingBrain and Nico van Loggerenberg 1 1
