    Good Luck to you and your wife on your new journey, it sound's like you are approaching it from a sensible angle. If I can give some advice on confidence during open water swimming - and this from someone who is not a great swimmer - the fitter you are with your swim in the pool, the more confident you will become in the open water. I'm not sure where you are from, but there are plenty of people on this forum who will be able to advise on various open water swimming groups, its a good idea to join them, they cater to all skill levels. Have fun, it's a great thing to do

    I have had the sleeved 2XU Trisuit for a couple of years now, and it seems a quality piece of kit. It seems to have shrunk in the stomach area though !

    Doug, I have an old Felt road bike that I could lend you. It’s not in great condition but it should manage the 90k course. WhatsApp me on 0832420285 in the morning. I’m about 70 km out of town but I will be doing the event.

    Hi Scott, I’m not doing the event and I live about 70km outside of Durban, but if you don’t come right, give me a call and I could help out. I’m from a farming area called Eston. Regards. Rob

    What was your race number ? I think we are in the same age category - 1322 for me. I probably shouldn't have been on the start line, head cold or something kicked in quite severely on thursday and friday, but I figured that I would start and see how it went. Swim was good, cycle was ok as I had determined to keep the heart rate low as a Precaution. First 10K of the run was good, and after that it was a slow affair. Overall i was happy with my day all things considered.

    So the swim is on. I'm probably going to regret only having done 3k total swim training !

    Average Durban sea temperature for the month of October is 21* C. Very good chance of a wetsuit swim.

    I think there might still be a chance that it's a wetsuit swim, but definitely prepare for the possibility that the water will be too warm for a wetsuit

    Good time there, Shaper. Great effort.

    It was a very long day at the office for me. Great to be out there again. Slowest half that I’ve ever done.

    I phoned Ironman a bit earlier today and they say it is definitely on.

    I've just totaled up my training since 15th March. I have never done so little training leading up to an event. Swimming 2hours 40 minutes Cycling; 19 hours Running; 9 hours 20 minutes Should be a fun day out!
