  1. Looks awesome. Keen to do it next year. I have signed up for the Sun City one. Good luck with your race! Will be cheering you guys on from a distance.
  2. I have a problem with my training. I am only getting my bike in a few weeks, and to get through my cycling training, I have been using the Wattbike at my gym. It's also going to be a stopgap when I can't get out on my bike during the week. I did some reading on how to set up my bike correctly, and I am using some ok'ish cycling shorts, but I can't last longer than 30 minutes as the pain my sit bones gets way too much (I have now dubbed the Wattbike the Pain Machine). I am not a cyclist at all, so the cycling aspect is very new to me. Anyone have any ideas / tips / experiences they can share?
  3. I used to wear a rash guard under my scuba diving wetsuit for this. Problem went away when I replaced it with a better fitting suit. Not sure how good idea this is for a long swim though. Maybe give it a try on your next open water swim? Also, what about something like Body Glide?
  4. I just nailed my bilateral swimming, and I am hoping that with my navigation training from scuba diving, I shouldn't have this issue...
  5. You guys are awesome. Faith in humanity restored. I hope to pay it forward (under less tragic circumstances that is).
  6. I have signed up for the Sprint in May. Been training for a few weeks now, and it's slow. Meeting with a coach from MyProgram Generator today to understand the training a bit better. What are you using for your training? Any specific plan? Can't access the link... There are plenty more photos here: https://www.facebook.com/BackyardAdventuresSA
  7. I am so sorry for your loss. It feels so senseless and frustrating. I would partake in this. Maybe set a date in the future and start the event on as many social media platforms as we can. We could reach out to corporates to help raise awareness and promote the event internally. Maybe we could even get 94.7 to run a campaign for the event and raise awareness. Just before November would be good (before the 94.7 race?).
  8. Doing some smaller Olys and Sprints in between. I don't even have my bike yet... Have not been on a bike since I was a teenager. Everyone thinks I am nuts, but I am determined to do this. Can't wait to get my bike. Planning on Cervelo S2. Not looking forward to the clipless pedals. If you see someone falling over slowly on a Cervelo, that's probably me... Well done! Even though I am new to tri's, I am sure that these types of events build character. Pushing through like that is some crazy mental fortitude.
  9. He would most certainly be a FlyingScot! 10 hours is very impressive. As for me, 70.3 EL 2018 will be my first HIM. You guys are inspirational. If I can get it done in 7 hours, I will be over the moon.
  10. Hey there, First post here, but this topic has struck quite a chord with me. As much as I am all for practicing what we preach, we also need to encourage our friends and family not to drink and drive. Seen way too many drunk drivers in and around Fourways. Even at more "normal" hours. We seem to have an accepting culture when it comes to this.
