Hey all of you...

 

Who fell, who had flats, who caused people around you to fall, and who's in love with little gravel pieces after today?

 

Come on....story time people!!

Survived - just!

 

A few observations and some questions about the race:

1. Who the hell (pun intended) named Occultsdale! I'm assuming that it is the same guy who named Contermanskloof and Kom se Pad.

2. Is there a steeper hill than Vissershoek, in the Western Cape?

3. Never buy a house under power lines - did you hear those things! Glad i was wearing a helmet - am contemplating a precautionary MRI, just in case.

4. Remember to wear a pair of underpants/tight tights when attempting the gravel section.

5. We love it when a race is meant to be 96km and ends up being 91km

survived. was a tough ride thanks to the rolling hills and wind. Managed to do a 3.04 from the M group. The gravel was fine, but there were ony 3 of us together so could pick our lines and avoid the rubbish. glad its over

Ag no Colonel...that's not good to hear. Better luck next time buddy!

 

Oh...and who got the 7th and 10th?

That piece of gravel was the sh*ttest thing they cvould ever put in any race. i sincerely hope no more league races have that rubbish in t.

 

Hey colonel... yes - elites is HARD!!!  Was sitting @ the back of the bunch cruising along nicely when suddenly i was guttered. Spent 35mins @ 97% heartrate and caught 4 guys in front of me. We made nice progress until the lead SV guys caught us. Then we flew. They pulled us back to the back bunch of the elites about 30km from then.

Ek was op 'n race simmulation ride hier in en om Worcester - so moenie worry nie...ek het my fair share van pyn gehad vanoggend. Het selfs 'n stukkie grondpad ook gedoen:-)

[hagar]

ja ja we belive you post the pics to prove it please

Colonel: dont get me wrong - i loved every second of it. Its so awesome to be puking blood for a reason now. When racing in e/f/g/h/whatever your bleeding from the ears doesnt really mean anything. But here its frikking awesome to actually be working towards something!

 

next time tho - i'm not sitting on the back of the bunch.. i'll hang around near the middle or so - wont get guttered so easily then
