16km sounds more like it from what i've heard too. The map isnt very helpful liek that

Well, in almost exactly 48 hours ill be lined up at the start about to get very dirty

Any tips of tricks anybdy has heard would be nice. The two things i was told to do were to tape my shoes on, and carry paw paw ointment for irratated skin.

I honestly dont think it was that tough, they talked it up a lot. I rolled my ankle at about the 8km mark I think (at the top of the greased lighting bit) and still managed to finish. Looks like I have broken a bone in my foot so going to get xrays done tomorrow

The electric shock was no worse than someone flicking you.

Still was a lot of fun and will be doing it again, hopefully the Sydney one in September

Unforunetly I only heard about this 2 days before the event from a bloke at gym.

Sounds exactly like the stuff I enjoy, testing/pushing myself etc...

Would be keen for the next one in VIC whenever that is, only thing holding me back is my runnning, at a fast pace I can get 3kms in 12mins then die or 5kms in 25ish miins then die....

but some people say the running is not so bad as when it is a bit busy, you will jog, wait x mins becasue an event is busy, do the event and continue running, so you get that time to catch your breath.

Upperbody stregnth etc would not be an issue.

Birds - if theres one near melb in the future we could do it ? :)

Also, I looked into a few others. I fcking wish we had this here! would be awesome! CLICK ->>>>> http://runforyourlives.com/ http://www.theaustra...o-1226158008430

If you go early, you dont wait for anything. I didnt wait at any obsticle for one second

You dont need to be a strong runner at all to do this, just generally fit and have a good attitude. Because it was very sunny the course was relatively good fun, if you had to do it in the rain and wind, then thats a whole mental aspect that i dont think many people faced this time.

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
