JGR

ok Ive entered and accommodation booked for the night before

Heard it was actually Boverill ...

if it was feasible test everyone. It was just an observation from the last adverse finding with a resident doper hubber

Da BOSS

Seems only back markers get caught these days

Ok, im in. Entries on the day? Any chance this could be sold out?

plus initiation fee to be added to the principle loan and there after interest on that as well

Make sure you bike is in an easy gear in T1 to get going on the bike quickly

72km has been cancelled

Thanks I appreacite your position and yes we require role models but I cant say that the Pro triathletes are very accessible or even based in the country most of the year so that point does become quite mute. Im also not of the view that sport stars are good role models - in fact much of the time the exact opposite. Like I said a choice would be great

You assume every triathlete cares about the pro's - if I have money and have a choice to sponsor Richard (who is a great athlete) or myself it becomes a simple choice. What about Henri and Wian? How about JGR working with people to find them jobs. I work on commission only but would love to get sponsorship money regardless of my success. If this is the case there should be a choice - R25 admin fee to race OR R100 with the knowledge you sponsor Richard Murray.

Ill bring my own and keep them in the cooler ... got to save at every turn for the TSA fees

I have to agree here. Petrol/suppliments ect add up quickly and I would think the indemnity of atheletes would be covered by the organiser. The atheletes are the ones getting ripped in this whole process - organiser making big profits, TSA asking for money (we dont know where it goes) paying R30 for an energy bar, R400 a tub of 32GI and lets not start on the equipment costs. Tri is a damm expensive sport and it is just increasing at every turn. I understand there might be a need for TSA to sanction a race (ie make the results legit for SA/Provincial selection) but this should be a really nominal fee like R25 Anyways ill but you a beer after the race!

Im keen on this but dont want to drive two hours for a mud fest - what is the generally drainage like for the rest of the course?

Unless you put the loo paper in the freezer the night before

My BBF

Nevern, Never Never try new nutrition or new equipment on race day. No matter how cool the stuff at the expo looks dont try it out for the first time during the race

If anyone needs a partner of very average ability im your man

Yeah for the cost (of the race and repairs) the weather might work against this one Happy to drop the money for a lekker ride but not keen on a mud bath - lets see how the weeks rain goes

Do you know what the drainage is like in that neck of the woods?

Federer went out 2nd round last time out ... I will gladly accept your donation and send you a nice thank you present

Std Bank had a password - was a pain if you forgot and then had to call the contact centre to reset. OTP is much better

I need the entry more- im a little further away then you

I await your decision - expectantly

Did I win? enough tips to write a book! Cmon mate
