Hey Seeker, whats your number?You can check it here :-http://www.midlandsu.../MU Entries.pdf

My number is 583

Even Buffelspoort could be considered for a 3/4 IM or something

DaveM, Imagine 2,000 athletes. So 1,000 are from out of town... Imagine most of them staying in the Cradle. Guys like Valverde are already on board. It could also be a tourism attraction.... Screw the distances. Make it unique. Challenge Cradle. 2km swim, 140km bike and 25km run. We cant be full IM racing fit all year.

Me to. Teardrop helmets look so ghey if you are not top 10......

Who cares. Its about bloody time someone tells the truth. Everyone has been fighting about this like forever. This book could change cycling for the better. Now finally I can say to all the Lance fans "I told you so". Make no mistake if no one doped he probably would still have won 5 tours (the others he would have lost cause his team won him those tours) but doping is doping...

I have been tapering for 2 days now. Think this "recovery shake" thingy can add value the morning before the race as well or rather the evening before?

What are the chances you could scan and post that pic here?

Cool I will wear a black ORCA top with some white in it. I will also probably be wearing compression socks and ride a Felt B-12. On the run I will wear Solomons Speecross Lime green shoes

Swim 45min T1 5min Bike 2:50 T2 5 min Run 1:50 Total anything under 6 hours will make me really happy. 05h45 but then I will have to have a great day. The problem with Tri is that themoment you thinks its gonna be easy it takes you by the balls and shows you why it is associated with the word Ironman...... Also remember it could rain. So punctures could be in play. i also just race better in heat. Hopefully it is just cloudy and a little bit humid....

Ok so I did three sessions. One 500m. One 1km and then yesterday 1.25km. Really found my "stride" yesterday and as long as I swim within myself I can keep going like forever. Its all about the breathing. Gonna find a bunny on Sunday and sit at its feet the whole of the swim. At least then I dont have to worry about looking up . Not gonna post a record time but if I can manage a sub 45minute it will be OK. Gonna kill the bike and run. Weather looks awesome!

Haha!!

Haha just kidding!

We are creating this chokers tag ourselves. The players who choked first time up is long gone yet we make sure the new guys knows all about it even before choking. How would you feel walking into a new team and getting branded as losers even before you had a fair chance to prove yourself. Yes we are adding to it. Whenever SA loses 2 quick wickets EVERYONE shouts choke etc yet we are the top team in ALL FORMATS. The world cup will be won one day when us supporters stops acting like a bunch of vultures and start becoming real supporters. Choking is almost a cheap get out of jail card now days to calm our dissapointment. Aaaah but of course they lost they always choke bla bla bull***t. Its almost like us being blamed for apartheid even though most of us had nothing to do with it.... Julle is almal *** mense.

Another underperforming World Cup. Again questions needs be asked about selection policies...... Ask any batsmen in the world who he would like facing when big runs is needed and he may well tell you Wayne Parnell, Albie Morkel or Kallis........ All lekker medium pace okes you can clobber everywhere and anywhere..... Morne Morkel has about as much control over a cricket ball as TNT1 on a MTB.. They should have brought guys who can hit a long ball and not use the pace of the bowlers. See how India take pace of the ball off and again we bat at 6 per over tonight........... AB needed to step up and take repsonsibility in matches yet he decided to keep sending other guys up the order and only come in when it is waaay too late. He is our best batsmen and your best batsmen need top OPEN in the sub continent. The leading run scorers are the openers. Why not send your two best batters in to open? Look at Gayle and Watson? Look no more R Levi only has one shot and one region he can hit. It took the world exactly one innings to work out its Cows Corner or nothing. Lets also be honest, we suck at playing spin in general.... Kallis should now finally realise he should only play tests. He is the John Smit of the cricket team. He is a liability and too old for the quicker game. They should rather have taken Ryan McClaren. At least he can hit a long ball.... Anyways, easy to say now afterwards

Haha! There is always that one ref!! Always! The bloody Bryce Lawrence of Triathlon

Actually I am Half Elve with a bit of Necromancer thrown in as well as some Goblin.

Hi Damian One final request. We are driving far to race this event and it costs us a lot of money. We are racing against ourselves, not for prizes. We are here to enjoy the sport as are you. Please ask the refs to make calls in good spirit of the event. Please ask them to have a look at an individual over a period of time (a minute or two) before making a call in terms of drafting etc, not just pull out a card if it seems someone might be drafting for 2 seconds from 800m afar on the back of a motorbike! It has happened last time at Bela that okes (me included) was carded under "controversial" circumstances to say the least. Basically we do not like refs on a power trip. Regards Us athletes!

How will transition work? First come fisrt serve or per race number?

4 x GU 3 x Roctane Gels 1 x NEW Roctane Drink Sachet 2 x Sachets of GU Brew 3 x GU Electrolyte Tabs + a FREE NEW Chocolate Smoothie Recovery Sachet

WHat can we expect in our Gu-Race Hamper? The one we purchased for like R325 or something?

Ja I know that stuff. it is also twice the price of the normal stuff. I like it..... Carbo Load with Naartjie but race with the ROC!

Fortunately I am genetically superior. I am literally a perfect specimen. But thanks I will do the Naartjie thing.

Ok cool, I will bring the cavalry and take it up with them. Or make my own transition bags like at ironman....

Thanks. Which site do you use for weather as weatherSA shows different predictions. It seems we need to bring clothes for all seasons as T1 & T2 could differ by a large margin. Maybe cycle in storms and run in heat or the other way around. Questions:- 1.) Can I bring my crate into transition and leave it there? Because rain is around I would like to put my run gear inside the crate and not outside on a towel for obvious reasons. I would like to start the run dry if possible. Got to run the Otter next weekend so I wanna keep blisters to a minimum.... 2.) Can I please bring a small coolerbox in which I can put my bottles? Should it be hot it is nice to have a cold one in T1 and T2.... The fuel should sort itsself out as everyone is filling up today before the price hike tonight. Most stations should refuel by the weekend so the more expensive fuel should be available.....
