Lekker manne, bein al nervous raak, dink dag 2 gaan n etter wees met die hitte wat hulle voorspel, lyk na nog n atta dag in die saal vir ons!

Ek sien dis weer goed warm die naweek, in wellington...

I can confirm that Rennies does not work for my cramps, i ate so much Rennies that i won't have heartburn for the rest of my life

Ditto, i see me and my mate made the highlights lol.. Looking at it , i am sweating in my office chair. What a tough day out

Also doing the combo

Planning on doing this ride next saturday. Swest to gantouw still easy?

From Race organiser at about 1730 , there were +- 150 riders waiting to be picked up still next to the road, the didn't have enough transport so had to do an enourmous amount of back and forth driving.

Dit was verseker my hardste dag op n fiets, het by elke waterpunt en river crossing myself gesoak met koue water. Wou die plug pull na waterpunt 3 maar na so paar lang minute se talking to met myself het ek maar aangehou sukkel. Moes die bulte na die ou spur punt almal stoot. Het geen krag gehad om daar op te trap nie… Dink die yswater by elke waterpunt het my lewe gered. Kon ook later niks eet nie, was bloated en naar. Maar het hom getick en klaar gemaak… amper heeldag fiets gery. Was in die donkerste plek in my lewe vir baie lank.

I see we are in for a scorcher of a day!!

Het opgelog om te kom check hoe gan dit met COIS. Cois rus in vrede meneer jy is verlos van jou pyn jy was n yster hier op aarde!! .. Reinett alle sterkte daar ons dink aan julle, soos vele keer genoem hierbo, jy weet waar om te kom vir hulp as jy nodig het.

This is going to hurt..

Hi All, wow.. what a terrible day, what started out as shambles in the swim ... Swim was shortened to 380m BUT they could not get the bouy closer to the shore and left it where it was. They gave us an option to withdrew from the swim and go to transition and get ready to bike, but more or less all people stayed on the beach. They let the first okes out of the blocks to start to swim which resulted in absolute chaos.. The Wind and waves and current pushed them far left into the sea and spit them out again, amost all lifeguards in the ocean to assist them. We headed out and targeted about 100m right of the bouy, that had to be the hardest swim of my life, the waves breaking over my head and pushing you back no chance of keeping any rhythm or decent strokes, just seeing people turning around and people swimming into me from the front.. Got to the bouy turned and headed out again. Trying to catch wves to help get out of the mess. Swim time 10min for about 600m. On to the bike, wind blew us out towards seaview but turning around quickly realised why it was so quiet going out, the wind blocked us for the 45km back to Summerstrand, turning around took it easier surfed the wind towards seaview and then the last 45km back to transition into a massive headwind, hard work just getting to 24km a hour. Run - with almost no spectators ( there was a few) and wind stopping you every return leg was difficult, with okes blowing up after the bike, saw alot of people walking ( more than prev year 2019) My buddy also popped and i nursed him to finish avoiding a walk. Expo - sub par, kit - sub par - for me it was very watered down.. But is is done and the monkey is off my back after training 3 times for this.

Getting real nervous, packing tonight flying out tomorrow mid day..

Who is etc?? i wonder

Guys better pack your big lungs, 2,4 to 2.6m swell and 13seconds wave lenght... gonna make the swim interesting...

Agreed Scott, thanks... Also think the swim will be shortened.. hurt locker on the bike..

jip same want to get it done. What do you think wll happen with the swim with this wind? 2019 they shortened it with 25km/h wind..

Race weel is here, looking at the weather for this weekend in PE is going to be a cluster *&^k.... wind gusts of 60km/h with rain.....

Howzit, jip got it for a good deal and got a good deal for our house. They were struggling after covid and no guests for a while. House size 540m2 and erf 1700. My wife likes the process. PS. I am in contracting (QS)

Sold our house , bought a guesthouse, it currently has 11 rooms and 9 bathrooms, gutting it , leaving 6 bedrooms 4 bathrooms, and making new indoor entertainment areas etc... Fun times ahead starting 2 dec , new kicthen, floors, ceilings etc etc.. lovely ........not

Dankie

Any idea who stocks this in south africa? i see it on takealot but i want a different colour.

Went up Helshoogte from sbos side, saw this oke sitting on the left hand side on the grass with hoodie on, told my mate to keep an eye on this guy as he looks up to no good. I went past 1st and looked at him, watching his moves, my mate was about 5 meters behind me, when he got to the guy the guy got up and wanted to pull him off the bike. I stopped and ran back to him ( dik diemer*&) , but when i got close he ran into the bushes and kept his distance. blurted out some unsavoury words to him, but he just kept going.
