I'm from beautiful Cape Town, South Africa. I enjoy mountain biking and running on our awesome trail network, especially on Table Mountain, or Hoerikwaggo as it was called by the indeginious KhoiKhoi tribe.
@@cptmtb Thank you for explaining! I'm going to have to watch your video again, a couple of times. Beautiful scenery 😍 Until I get to go there myself. I'm certain it's more majestic in person 😁
What camera are you using that your battery is lasting the whole ride? Also instead of displaying elevation rather show total elevation and maybe power. It’s great for us who haven’t done these races to decide on which bike and type of terrain you covering! Thanks Noel
Hi Noel thanks for your comment. I use the DJI Action 3 camera @4K with a small 5000mAh powerbank to keep the battery charged. The current app I use for the overalys can't display total elevation. Power would be great but I don't have a powermeter on the bike - that's work in progress.. I have found an app that's fully customizable for the overlay data, can display total elevation, power and much, much more but it's to expensive at the moment to buy considering that this is only a hobby...
I just read the news from the organisers that they did not meet the criteria for the Abbott World Marathon Majors, so decided to take a look at videos of last year's race. Thanks for capturing it! Years ago this was my first ever marathon - and I live in Joburg. I wanted to make it a destination race - in addition, the high altitude and gazillion hills up here made me think that running at the coast would be a lot easier (and it was). Fast forward to today and I've done maybe 20 marathons, 5 Two Oceans and back to back Comrades. I got so much nostalgia watching this and so want to go back for my second CPT marathon. Possibly smash my course time or PB because I heard it's even flatter than it was years ago when I ran it!
Dude! Glad you liked the video. You should definitely come do your next marathon here! It's such a lekker vibe. The course is relatively flat but there's still a few inclines that some people don't like. Well done on your 20+ marathons!
What a ride Francois. You never gave up - 3.15 with a 3 minute stop is an incredible achievement on a MTB. And the last stretch from Seapoint out of the saddle! 💪.
Lekka Francois, that was a solid ride, well done. Nice video as well, I like your setup showing all the stats on the bike 👍 I see my HR wasn't the only one that was Z4 & Z5 the whole race 🤣 Flip man, that was a tough race, I haven't had to dig that deep in a while 😵
Thanks Brett! It was for sure a touughy as I was not expecting that pace at the start 🥵, but overall a good fitness test knowing I can keep up a bit with the gravel bikes 🤣🤣😅
Wow... congratulations 🎉 you got me into a Tuesday adrenaline rush 😅... apparently my facial expression said a lot according to my friend who watched with me.. 👏
I also got a DnF - my race finished at Llandadnou...P.S - Start of your video, I'm the one standing behind you (At Gardens R.C) wearing All-Black with a red Hydration Vest.
The only missing link in this beautiful sports today; good inspiring content… It’s tough for many to grasp why this champs choose to go this route Awesome job on the interviews. short & fun and cam control 👏🏽 Well done champ!🎯
Thank you for being there and supporting us...this video is one of the things I was looking forward to see after the race. I'm Mkhululi Jack (MJ), the one driving the UNOFFICIAL SUB 3:40 bus at the beginning of your video., we dd 3:37:02. Dankie!
Thanks for sharing the video! Hope I can join in next year then! Living on and off in Paarl, I was actually looking for some gravel riding/racing experience.
Dankie Evert! Dit moet verseker op elke mountain biker se lys wees. Ek het dai video record met my Gopro Hero 7. Die footage het ek gemerge met my Strava GPX file en Garmin Virb Edit software om al die telemetry info te overlay op die video. Dit is 'n bietjie van 'n proses maar dit gee ook 'n bietjie context aan die video - spoed, elevation, suffer score...hahaha
Thanks Johan. These are easy safe routes that I know very well. I often do longer 40-50km in the mountains solo with no issues. I do have a running buddy with me on some weekdays but I enjoy the time alone out there...
I'm using Maxxis Aspen 2.25 upfront and Kenda BoosterPro 2.2 at the rear which I've been testing for a while now. Another good combo that works well for me is Maxxis Ardent Race upfront and Maxxis Rekon Race at the rear. Which tyre combo are you currently using?
