  1. Yes just swim in your tri-suit. The difference between a trisuit and cycling chamois (shammy) is that the trisuit does not absorb water. Last year in Durban Ultra wetsuits were not allowed, and you just swim in the trisuit
  2. My package, with an awesome Fenix 5 arrived today... Whooop whoooop... How I feel like a little boy again :-)
  3. I was also between the F5 and the 935, but since I want to use it as a day to day watch, and only snap on a brown leather band, the F5 will look much more stylish compared to the plastic of the 935. I think the 935 will be extremely popular though
  4. My 5 is being delivered at family in the US tomorrow. Have friends that is then coming back to SA next week where I will then be a very happy child again lol Looking forward to my first Fenix
  5. There is a nice and well organized event in April, by Trinity Sports Good way to get a feel of what its all about I will probably be there again in prepping for Durban
  6. Agree with the coffee part. Over the last few weeks though it feels as if the coffee is not working... Read up on it a bit and most people/dieticians recommend more water. So from this week I will be looking at takings in more and more water. Hopefully that helps
  7. I feel that what works best for me is a lot of fresh goods for eating. Lost of fruit and Veg with a protein during lunch If I eat to much at one point I feel bloated and irritated the whole day, as if my training was an excuse to overeat (its not but it feels like it) So Ill have stuff like yogurt and fruit, smoothies, cheese with crackers and then possibly chicken/fish with veg for lunch For snacking I'll have fruit again or even biltong (I normally eat this when I get to work just because I love it) I've read somewhere that you should eat a nice, sustainable meal 30min after your training session otherwise later on your body will want to consume everything in its path I also only train on water (shorter than 2 hours) but can also feel I am taking strain so have started incorporating "game" when I run and cycle, not for the swims Hope this helps, and note its only what I feel works for me. Would like to see what others are taking in
  8. 100% correct. If you use Trainerroad for instance and therefore power based training, you will not have to shift gear ever. Thus setting a gears without any jumps and you can go as the trainer will adjust resistance as and when needed
  9. And that is the only reason I always make sure I don't do a sub 3
  10. Hubbers I need some guidance on a bike fit issue, please see below https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/165332-after-my-bike-fit/?source=lfp
  11. I did their first one, think it was in Oct this year... Very small but it could be a nice training run... The ride has some bad road out to where to get to actual road, but because of the 2 or 3 laps you hit the shitty road quite often... ita not too bad but not ideal. The run is on a jeep track so you'll have to pay close attention not to step on rocks or in ditches I did the Germiston one subsequent to that and there is no comparison... Germiston is much more organised although the swim in North West is much better and cleaner... When comparing entry fees however... Germiston is a little high Hope this helps
  12. Yea look I think it might have been a little too hard considering I could not hang on to the front 10% of the group on Hekpoort. But all in all it makes for some interesting racing and great training for the 947... Hope you are a good race further!!!
  13. Must say I enjoyed the race. Was very hard as started in CL chasing the main group for about 30km before we caught them Of a chasing group of about 8 only 3 of us consistently working, it made for some deep breaths. Overall well organised and a very safe ride. Hekpoort also never disappoints!!!
  14. He is nothing other than a Legend!!! ...And what a humble guy!
