LOUDMAC Posted March 7, 2011 Author Posted March 7, 2011 Don't kid yourselves, a sub 3 from F is gonna hurt like hell! And even then.......a big ask.But try we will!
LOUDMAC Posted March 7, 2011 Author Posted March 7, 2011 From past splits we need to:Pass Simonstown at 1hr02, but with Boyes we are looking at about 1hr07.Crest Chappies around 2hr02Puke at the top of Suikerbossie about 2hr23and Cancelarra it all the way home. WOW my legs hurt already!
trekpostal Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 The winner of D, E and F did the same time (3:15 - 3:16) last year so with wind no-can-do and not even A did a sub 3 last year.
LOUDMAC Posted March 7, 2011 Author Posted March 7, 2011 that was with *** wind......we can only hope for decent weather for a change!If not then we go for the best time we can! Or stop for coffee!
PeterM Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) Good luck to the F group - it's do'able but will be hard. If you work together it is possible. The wind, Boys drive, and team work are the critical elements.(my2c worth) Last year i checked out the past sub 3hours data. We are due for an easy'ier Argus. Have a look at the past stats: Sub 3's Argus finishers:  2010 - 138 (?) (very windy, boy's drive, 110km)2009 - 111 (storm, boy's drive, 110km)2008 - 1781 (no boy's drive) very good weather 109km2007 - 1340(+-) (no boy's drive) perfect weather 109km2006 - 815 (no boy's drive) cool weather 108km2005 - 237 (very windy) 108km2004 - 936 (good weather) 108km2003 - 810(+-) (De-tour, very good weather) 109km2002 - 315(+-) (De-tour, part of the Argus was stopped, HOT 42C) 109km2001 - 460(+-) (De-tour) 109km2000 - 384 (first De-tour – 109km)1999 - 1225 (105km, Maiden Cove finish, Chappies)1998 - 323 (105km, Maiden Cove finish, Chappies)1997 - 449 (105km, Maiden Cove finish, Chappies)1996 - 487 (105km, Maiden Cove finish, Chappies)1995 – 1654 perfect weather, (105km, Maiden Cove finish, Chappies)1994 – 1414 good weather (20 000 entries, 105km, Maiden Cove finish)1993 - 1051 good weather, (4 seeding races were used, 105km, Maiden C.) Take or leave a few... Apparently, out of a total of 165 000 individual Argus entries, 7900 have done one or more sub 3 hour finishes. Peter Müller Edited March 7, 2011 by PeterM
KaKa Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 if u take the total cost of the entry, training...to ride for as short a time as possible does not financial sensecost over timethe longer u ride the more cost effective the argus that is IMO anyway
LOUDMAC Posted March 7, 2011 Author Posted March 7, 2011 Yeah we hear you.I got a 3:26 from F in '09.....wind and all. There were 12 of us from Edinborough drive.10 from Smits7 from Chappies and 3 across the line together! Hey nobody said we were betting men.It's good to have a goal.
