Yeah, very tough day out on my 1st attempt.. but happy I finished in one piece! (1 hr off my estimate .. Bike is obviously where the time went) @ GSNieP - I measured the swim on my Garmin at 4.91km (in total) another guy I was chatting too, measured 5.1km on his garmin! will be back next yr !!
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 )
windguru doesn't look good for Sunday http://www.windguru.cz/int/index.php?sc=51679 the wind needs to stay AWAY esp 60-70km/h gusts !! I'm going with this forecast from the SA Weather service ! http://www.weathersa.co.za/web/Tables.asp?sp=1&f=1290&z=Ctry&v=7&g=gT&h=0&m=Strm&anim=aStr&av=AvWarn&uid=&p=&dbug=&TL=1652.1258.1212.1709.1290&PC=&mw=w&ht=&v=7 and by sunday things could change to a heat wave! RACE WEEK has started..
read my post...if they had been coached properly and have a bit of race experience .. if the guys don't know then YES it is bollocks. It's a purely marketing strategy by Exarro .. the end
its not bollocks if.. they have been coached properly and have a bit of race experience and they still continue to do it! ...that goes for the non development riders too... doesn't matter if you pink, green, black or white, if you racing / behaving like a MUPPET, then you shouldn't be there..
Marketing ploy by Exarro.. probably would have been better to get a lot more (prev disadv) riders involved by supplying entry level MTBs and entering "cheaper" 3 day stage races.. those that perform in the top of their group get to race the EPIC. Healthy competition amongst their academy, race experience at a "low key event " but more importantly you have at least exposed more people to cycling.. if that was the true intention of the Exarro academy.. my 2c..
I got chased by a wildebeest at Suikerbos last time I was there, the poor bugga probably needed help getting a gu packet out his *ss.. To those overweight littering savages.. HTFU, no need for gu's at Suikerbos !
Thanks Stevie L the wind is the ball-breaker! if that stays calm its all good.. JHB City tri in Sep -> germiston lake was super cold, also around 12 degrees.. only had 1 swim cap.. learnt my lesson! good luck guys... I'll see ya when I pass ya!
