2XU have good shorts - i have used these in the last two IM with the Specsaver vest. If you have a half decent TT saddle then the shorts should be fine. Do a couple of training rides in them

Long rides, train your body and mind that you will be in the saddle for a minimum of 7hrs.

[You can go under 13hrs - it's all in the run My goal is to go under 12 this year - 1h20 swim, 5h45 ride and 4hr30 run 12min for T1+T2 quote name='Metzet' timestamp='1334730028' post='1635287] What's everyone's personal goals for Sunday ?? (all factors going well on the day) Here's mine.. Swim : 1h30 T1 : 5min Bike : Sub 6hr T2 : 5min Run : 5h30 Total ~13h10 (sub 13hr would be great )

Last year was no differrent - the weather forecast changed 10 times before race day - it ended up to be a perfect day ! Let's be positive - hope and pray that the wind stays away.

what is the procedure with regards to selling a complete entry - do they allow this ?

On the ride i registered 1125m of Ascent over 92km, very tough out ride before you turn. Many cyclist's never made the cut off time

Merida Big Nine - full XT for R30k

the doping laws and bodies that manage them are an absolute joke, this guy gets banned because some guy testifies that he may have doped dating back to 2005 ? Lance is still appearing at hearings.......is he still the TDF champion if he is found guilty? Contador ? and list list goes on and on

in addtion to the cramp pills, eat some salted biltong, finely sliced. I eat the chews, biltong and mixed salted nuts along the cycle route.......this is more than enough. At the start of the run take a gel and another halfway. Stay hydrated.

Keep with the Cumulus 13 or if you want to try the Nimbus 13, i have run with both and they are great

He was killed on the bridge crossing, the road narrows from NO shoulder when you cross over - you always just pray that there is no car from behing when crossing over - you are normally doing speeds of 65 - 70km/h. The cars have NO patience on this road!

should be about +-R45/month each with an excess of 10% min R1000, full cover - whilst in use as well. You might get it cheaper as well

Nothing wrong with the 500, i bought the 900 for my wife, i liked the specs and fitted it with tubless tyres. she loves the bike and we yet to have a problem

TFS 900 should go for about R9500 full SLX with some XT, remote lock out front shock etc

Why not go for the TFS 900 D, better specs and not much difference in price ? - also just under the R10k price

Tri suit is good, but i prefer seperate tri pants and a tri top - put them both on under your wetsuit. I don't know of any places in East London, you can give the 2XU rep/owner a call about a wetsuit and some tri kit. Louis and Marriete de Villiers - 082 5639555 or 082 5757350. They will also advise you which shops stock their products etc. Hope this helps you.

Mistaken identity !

Kandui, i'm also looking at getting a 29er. My height and weight is more or less the same as you. I test rode the S-Works 29er and Niner hard tails yesterday. The Niner Hard tail rides like my 26 Merida Dual Sus. I don't know if it's worthwhile getting a soft tail 29er ? I was more impressed with the Niner than the S-Works (Niner better price as well !)

I had the same problem earlier this year and i know how it messes with your head ! I changed my headset and my mindset My wobble always happened on the same decesent and the same place, same speed +-60km/h. The more i rode there the more tense i would get, you have to learn to relax, it's difficult to do but solves the problem.

Those bridges were very slimy, you had to hit them square on....otherwise you saw what happened

and this is where they lived happily ever after !

Conti Mountain King, back and front. Day 2 sounds like it is going to be wet, irrespective of the weather, crossing the river like 20 times or so !

I used 32gi drink and chews at Iron Man in PE. No gels or gu's. I hate half a chicken breast after 120km on the bike and that was it. 3 Bottles 32gi juice mix,3 packets of 32gi chews, water and then some coke on the run. My energy levels never felt depleted.

I do the same on early rides of 2hrs or less, coffee and a rusk - you might feel a little hungry on the last 2 or 3 km
