The average guy concept started in Sabie while drinking beers at Merry Pebbles. This was all after BIG AL (125kg) had just completed a 7:30 Sabie Classic. He was escorted to the finish by the sweep vehicle which had been begging him to get in from the 15km to go sign.
While drinking those beers, we were wondering what would happen if you took an average guy and trained him like a pro. Would he eventually finish races in the top ranks?
I then realized that I was the average guy. I set about changing my physiology (now 90kg), training hard and buying really cool equipment. I use every spare cent I have on bike stuff. My wife is thrilled with this. A hundred bucks spent on bike equipment is WAY better than a hundred bucks spent in the pub.
The Average Guys is a work in progress! You can all watch and enjoy. The ultimate goal, a top 20 overall finish at a well attended Drifter marathon race.
Will next year be his year?? Well we will have to wait and see.
Regards
The Average guy
