This event takes place on April 15. I'm looking at the CycleLab site and must be honest what I am reading does not really make much sense to me. Is this an open event to all and sundry (the NON elite) and what are the distances ?

Does anyone know who the sunscreen sponsor was ? they had a cutie spraying the stuff on. It worked better than anything I have used in the past and would like to buy some.

Hmmmm think I could use this to my advantage. How big are these industrial drawing pins ? would love to use something like this in the emergency lane on Beyers Naude early morning .... then again maybe not such a good idea ...

Water was very warm definitely not wetsuit conditions. Cant say I had any issues with 2 way traffic I'm not that fast remember folks when you go out on a MTB take your own water anything can happen this is not a road triathlon. Maybe this is why I was a little slower than the others. I had 1.5 litres of ice cold water and ice cubes to carry. As for the bouldering exercise all great just missed the opportunity to sit in the river and cool off. Whats with the purple T shirts ?! I dont swing that way. Sasol branding colours are blue and white.

hmmm best i break out the wetsuit otherwise i'm gonna freeze my .... gonna be a lot faster than garf !

My copy of the "Lore of Running" just arrived. All 900 pages of it !! Must say having studied and written exams all my life I get very "non-interested" when I am faced with reading yet another 900 page book. My first instinct with books is to tear into them and extract only what I need to know. I'm looking at the content page and the question is - what is it that "I need to know" ? or shall i read it cover to cover ....

mine is still new so "stepping out of it" is kinda difficult. all good. I will see you good folks there nice and early.

i need to practise getting mine off. my only worry is by the time i get mine off you will be back from the cycle

you gonna use a wetsuit for a 600m swim ?

I'm starting my training now for 2013

+1 Got to agree with Dangle here. At my age my HR is in the 122 to 175 (max) range. At last nights Kinetic run I can tell you my HR never fell below 165. When I cycle I find it extremely difficult to get my HR up to 165 unless of course i'm doing some serious hill work

my popcorn is finished ... hold the punches till i'm back shooo very hot in here

he decides to go to the loo. locks up bike. forgets combination or lock fails ? and walks home bike in left arm, minus rear wheel still attached to lock and chain, and shoes in right hand (cant see in pic) ??

Ok so the year gets off to a slow start for me overuse injuries and all. I decide to get my b??t into gear and renew licenses this morning. I start with ROAG pay my fifty odd rands for the years membership. Then go off to cycling SA site and renew my license. R150 in total. Send email to club ROAG immediately after. By close of business the ROAG administrator Megan had approved my membership with cycling SA and I got an email from cycling SA to say all approved and ready to roll with PDF membership card in the email (with photo) en all. All this accomplished in a space of about 5 hours (no phone calls no special favours) !!! well all I can say is WELL done club ROAG and Cycling SA I would never have believed it possible

speedo !! do swim, exit swim slip on cycling shorts (over speedo), exit cycling leg whip off cycling shorts(still got speedo on) put on running shorts(over speedo). do NOT try run in cycling shorts. believe me you wont loose much time in transition and its of no consequence even if you do. even if I was doing full iron man the last thing i want to do is run 42km in anything but decent run shorts and a loose run top and cap. No tri outfit will be as comfortable. so forget the glamour and fan fair get with what you are comfortable in. if you are not comfortable you are NOT.

Shooo thats quite a line up. real iron man stuff !! Reminds me why I got heel issues. hoping to make come back during this winter and surprise you all next summer hopefully I will not develop any overuse injuries next season and I may actually get to do iron man 2013

hmmm at my age the diesel engine needs as much help as possible as garf put it "i suck at hills"

What size cassette have you got on your bike ? On my TT build in progress I have a compact crank and want to buy the "right" cassette to cater for most eventualities

+1 must say when i mix up some banana flavour i get comments from all and sundry about its "chemical" like smell

break out the wors n chops hmmm just a pity about the beer part

I was thinking of joining the Jozi Multisport folks at Emmerentia. Seems swimming there is ok and you then get to belong to the canoe club as well. Many of the canoeists are also runners etc. Just not sure if its worth the R800 a year ? especially as winter is coming then swimming is definitely going to be restricted to the pool at my local gym Fitstop.

Cant make it either. I'm very jealous ! Enjoy.

Even the Hippo is terrified of the garf claw. The poor thing went into hiding when it saw you coming. OK seriously now what makes you think the hippo is gone ?

and me ... the last time I checked I had a very long list of certificates, diplomas and degrees on my CV sooo I dont think education has anything to do with it. Maybe its cause I'm a hard arsed ...

problem is he is gonna catch someone out. theres always someone who is unaware in lala land. it happens all the time especially the dudes who get emails "click here to re-activate your account"
