that's all pretty standard circuit training stuff... you'd want to be able to do all that and more if your going to make it through the event!

Yeah, If I was serious, I'd be doing this in addition to my normal training regime.

One guy I know said he'd be wearing floaties (for a laugh) because he can't really swim! Go figure!:blink:

How did you go with your run mate? Few more k's and you would have done a marathon. I can bust out maybe 15-18km's at the moment. Thirty is incomprehensible.

What is your target finish time come race day?

There is a suggested training regime. It's pretty challenging.

Lifted from the website:

You can use dumbbells, kettlebells, or anything heavy with a handle for most, if not all, of the exercises below.

heres the vid that goes through all that stuff

intense!

i doing it tomorrow

I tried this last night. It's monumental and from about the mountain climbers onwards I was absolutely spent.

I'm in mega-pain today but it's an awesome workout and you feel fantastic afterwards.

It made them look like piss weak fat f**ks lol, then I lost my shit when I saw the woman on the ground with the row up bar. I'll have to try this and see how hard it is to do pull ups by that stage.

we do this kind of work out on a Sat morning... much harder than a regular weights session but its only as hard as you make it... if you just cheat the movements (like a lot of what I saw in that vid) it makes the whole thing much easier... the Crossfit peeps are experts at cheating, those pull ups are a crime!

Haha especially the guy using his knees to propel himself up. I don't see the point - it's like you're there trying to get through the work out, rather than trying to use the work out.

quoted for truth

yeah its called kipping... a big swing, throw your knees up and ride the momentum... okay if your arms are completely gassed I guess or for a couple of forced reps at the end of a proper set... but probably better to just move onto something else

  • 4 weeks later...

Dose anyone know exactly how long it is. Its says 20km on there site but ive herd on the radio and a few other people saying its only 16km.

I cracked my ribs again on Monday but thinking ill still try give it a go, but I did struggle with a 5km run today.

Ive got a 1.45 start time on Saturday, wish it was a bit earlier but cant do anything about that.

    • You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."
    • Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.
    • Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>
    • There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
