Afraid' date=' not much too share Ox, was good hard racing in the flat East.

Managed to finish with A bunch, in about 2:38, so it was all good. Felt remarkably well after the mudstuff of yesterday.

Worst was the fact that I wanted the race to end after 99 km's, but it didn't till 105.

I leave it up to Andy to go to the front... Those that can may do that, not the one's who think they can

Hey Trubes,

 

Well done to you and Andy.

 

This was one tough race for me today.

 

Ended with Average HR of 92% Eish

 

Started in last bunch of the day and did a bit of TT today.

 

Kid, how did Hummy do today.

'k So i haven't read the eleventeen pages written since Saturday but I just wanted y'all to know I had a very short bike ride on Saturday. Oxman was in the South Saturday and he phoned me. We hooked up and he ended up at my place so we took the short ride to my farm.

 

Ox rode teeny'sbike and I rode the hybrid.

 

Was way cool and I felt hundreds. Just made me miss my weekend rides that much more.

 

Saw something about a crash. Hope the dude is ok. I know how he feels. At least I managed to avoid the road rash.

 

Recover soon fellow cyclsit.

Good race Trubie yesterday Trubie!

From my point it was great weekend of cycling. Did a nice little 33km race on Saturday. Then Emperors yesterday. Finished near the front of A and in 2:37 so was happy. Got a top 20 which I am pleased with considering it was a flat race with no climbs. Can't wait for the climbing races again!

[Andyr249]

Predictor, sorry to have missed you yesterday. Had to dash as well.

Welcome to the Hub GreyOwl3.0

 

 

 

So now we have a new member of the ASGR thread?

 

Welcome Greyowl (virgin 3 point oh.) dude. You don't have to be crazy to work here but it sure helps a lot if you are.

 

You related to they other birdbrain we all know and love?

 

Sheeeeeeesh' date=' he changes his "virgin" more often than I crash my bike.

 

Good thing he doesn't change it as often as Holy crashes, otherwise we would never keep up.[img']https://assets.bikehub.co.za/legacy_images/smilies/smiley2.gif[/img]

Dudes! Yeah, figured the Hub has been a little dull of late and needed some new changes!

What better way than to change (but not really) your username! A little like Microsoft/BMW/Mercedes/Trek...exactly the same as the old one, but new!

 

Trubie...2H38, thats decent dude. 1minute off Mandy? You've narrowed the gap since 94.7 bud...keep it up!

 

Hey Predictor, 105km TT should have been a breeze for you dude?! Compared to IronMan that is!

 

Indigo Kid...what I was 'chirping' about on saturday am was a psychological tactic! I knew I had a distant audience...if you know what I mean?! 

[Cyclewizz]

So what was wrong with GOver2.0 - outdated ??

I take it version 3 is faster, smoother, quicker, wiser than ver2.0 ?

 

You need to keep things simple as I'm only a kid and not a wise OLD owl.

You had a big audience, can only remember 2 chirps on Saturday one should be clarified.

[DomJBo]

how was the Tri?

 

 

 

 

Thanks for asking Trubie.

 

 

 

It was the worst race I've ever had. Felt absolutely awful after the race and that heat broke me.

 

 

 

A Short Race Report

 

 

 

Got there an hour early as usual' date=' spent a good 20 minutes driving around looking for parking. Found a spot to put my bike with an old lady, kid and myself wandered around for a short while. Got back to the bike, then asked race refs when and where can i rack? "We running late, you guys will rack over there, just be patient." Hung around they started the Sprint and mini events 20 and 30 minutes late respectively. Thought OK suppose to start at 10:45 + 20 min = 11:10 Give or take just in case.

 

 

 

Come 10:45, nothing, come 11:10, still hanging around bike not even racked. At about 11:20 bike rack open, found an awesome spot. 11:35 disappeared to the water as race briefing was about to begin @ 11:45. Bla, bla, bla, got dropped in the water swam by myself, as i got out the water i knew it was going to be a very hot and long race. On the bike, was excited for as knew i had prepared enough. Only to forget the cleat covers on the bottoms of my shoes. [img']https://assets.bikehub.co.za/legacy_images/smilies/smiley5.gif[/img] Eventually figured out what was happening, resolved it and moved on. Awesome cycle entirely by myself. Got back dying of heat, drenched myself in icy water, put those running shoes on for a strenuous run. At 12:45 all the marshals and police had decided to go home or chill on the pavement. First lap was watching out for cars driving over cones, 2nd lap maneuvering between cars to keep racing. With no water points besides the "make shift" one at the lap point, it was dry, hot and exhausting.

 

 

 

Finished my Race with a 1:23:48 official. 10th in 16-17 Category and 20th male.
