    Despite the sunshine you would have needed your Assos winter jacket and gloves. Are you here to visit the Assos factory šŸ˜œ

    That begs the question, open question to allā€¦.who originally recommended shortening the swim, was it the lifesavers or IM responsible person(s) and on what grounds? Im a pretty average AG swimmer and mass start swims are flipping scary, Iā€™m always the one starting on the outside and taking longest route to and around bouys. How more people have not drowned in triathlons I donā€™t know, even lake swimsā€¦. That being said, I would be a bit peeā€™d off if I entered an event and ended up doing less than recognized distance

    LOL I can remember Leppin Ironmans (canoe iron man for those that don't know) at Hartbeespoort dam being much rougher than that, so bad that many of the entrants were swimming with their canoes before the start cannon went off.... the good ole days And then the Durban ultra swim from Vetchies to North beach... swimming parallel to shore for most of the way....that could get a bit rough with strong currents around the various sand banks

    I think you have a good point, especially amongst the not pro fish n chips riders. There was a newspaper article here in šŸ‡ØšŸ‡­ recently which said that Drā€™s will no longer allowed to prescribe steroids without a genuine reason, they mentioned a figure of 100ā€™000 sports people could be affected and no longer be allowed to use steroids under their Drs supervisionā€¦.. the point of the article was that the new legislation might be dangerous because these sports people would resort to other sources without proper supervision.

    From a 59 (or is it 39) who has been there 20 yrs ago a wise chiropractor who was treating me for ā€œone of those nigglesā€ said something which I never forgot: ā€œYou donā€™t see professional sportsmen and women competing at the same level once they reach their late 30ā€™s, mentally and physically it just becomes to much, but that does not mean they have to stop playing altogetherā€ Slow down and relax, but never stop šŸ¤™

    Leave your shoes in the garage or somewhere with plenty of fresh air, stuff them with newspaper to absorb the sweat and chuck the paper away after a day or soā€¦.do not leave them in the bedroom šŸ˜‚

    SwissVan replied to bleedToWin's topic in Events

    Great to see they had a live feed The bits of the track I saw looked very similar to the SA Champs +/- 2002ā€¦. Was just as dry then as well šŸ˜‚

    Interesting, Iā€™ve never tried onza tbhā€¦ never heard of the until a few weeks ago. my vote would go for the ikons, found them a bit heavy but bullet proof.

    Probably the wrong thread.....but has anyone tried the Onza Canis? ONZA CANIS Skinwall Cross Country Mountainbike Tire 29" | ONZA Tires (onza-tires.com)

    By hot foot what exactly do you mean? Maybe you need a personalized orthotic instead of the generic Specialized inner soles. Been there done that, struggled with burning toes and worse pain like my toes were being hit with a hammer as the ride duration increased. Specialized inners with a metatarsal bar helped fractionally, so I went to a podiatrist and had orthotics made for cycling, since then no more foot or toe pain.

    I found the Arahiā€™s a bit hard / stiff compared to other Hokaā€™s Also a pronater and quite happy with the GT2000, but then Iā€™m only jogging a few km per week, not like some of the mega km crazies hereā€¦.
