DawieO Posted June 2, 2012 Share Not kidding, perhaps just not on top of the particular flavor of the sport that Theresa Ralph distinguishes herself in. Thanks DJR, now the bits come together. Edited June 2, 2012 by DawieO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted June 2, 2012 Share Very strong MTB, besides the Epic some other achievements are 1st women and 2nd overall in Magilies monster (5 sec behind the winner) and Mabalingwe womens champ, Theresa and her partner Karien van Jaarsveld were also leading iin Sani2C and very likely would have won but lost over an hour due to technical problems.

Enticement Posted June 4, 2012 Share The crux is quality training - my athletes spend no more than 12-15 hours a week for Epic training on average, and for that you don't need to be a pro rider.

Paulst12 Posted June 4, 2012 Share From what i have been told (take into account this is part hearsay), she followed a very strict training regime. She rode somewhere in the region of 20-25 hours a week (including spinning). This usually involoved some very long distance rides on Sat & Sun... in the region of 120-145km (on the mtb). So in the end it was all about training, and time in the legs...She is not a pro.... yet.... but there is no doubt she is one of two of the best marathon ladies in SA at the moment?Not bad for someone who works, has young children and isnt in her 20's anymore??
