Merry fucking Xmas to you assholes
Haven't done the event but would be keen to in a couple of years.
Found this podcast on the Trans-Provence very interesting in respect to training and prep. Especially the need to do some hike a biking and the importance of rest and recovery in training. http://www.downtimepodcast.com/trans-provence-special-part-one/

I agree, but I'll be fkd if I didn't try to get into the TP anyway! Would have been epic of epics.
Thankfully no bike carrying required in the TransNZ, but deffo some bike pushing.

It's Not Easy Being Green
I've had a few goes at this program, but haven't got past 5 weeks for various reasons.
Even in that time I noticed a huge difference on the trails with my fitness.
I'd certainly give it a crack!
One of these days I'll get through the 12 weeks. I've got a trip to Maydena coming up in February, so I'm going to try to get it done before then.

his knee or hip? or that swinging pivot between the hips??

That trail you can see running for miles down the crest? That’s about 1/2 of this stage before it turns right down into missing link then into ‘Beached as’. Around 10 minutes...which isn’t the longest the stage of the week.
Way down there is Queenstown, and the pines are Skyline MTB park. You climb the park for stage 1, race down. Only lift of the week gets you back up top of Skyline, but you then ride/push/carry bike another 600m of elevation for this stage. Well worth it. We went back the next day and rode up both Skyline and even higher I Ben Lomond just for the experience again.

I’m not saying no...but they may not let you. Part of the application process asks about your bike.

Last year one rider was on a HT. He was associated with a major sponsor group.
It's doable, I just dunno why TF you would.
