I see a 15 year old girl - Tierney Wolfgram did a 2:40 marathon at the twin cities marathon this weekend to finish sixth among the elite women. http://www.startribune.com/tierney-wolgram-15-year-old-from-woodbury-finishes-sixth-in-twin-cities-marathon/495583911/
From Instagram - Jan Frodeno: "Certainly not how I hoped this season would end. A stress fracture in my hip (SI joint)- see pic 2 for those interested. The highs and lows of sport have never been so close for me- winning a world title last week and being sidelined for the season the next. At least the @_promovement team kept the spirits going;) (last pic). Just a reminder to all of us that success never comes in a straight line... currently listening to Daft Punk- One More Time, so see you all next year #FrodosOut #Literally"
There are quite a few hilly triathlons out there, Triathlon Alpe d'Huez, IM Lanzarote, IM Wales, Norseman etc I think IM Germany's bike course has about 3000m worth of elevation gain if I'm not mistaken.
I do 9 to 11 workouts per week with 3 swims, 3 cycles, 3 or 4 runs and a strength workout. Most people build up to about 17-18 hours of training per week.
Germiston lake is not my favourite but I prefer it to Bela Bela - Im doing both of them again this year Last years IM 5150 Germiston was very well organised. One lap swim and the bike and run is flat and fast.
Running out of steam is the least of my worries http://is1.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Video/v4/4a/ca/09/4aca0970-f7fe-da2e-38b6-b649d489bbb8/source/1200x630bb.jpg
