These are the images taken of the swim yesterday, you can find them on Ironman South Africa FB page. If the sea swim was so bad that it needed to be shortened, why such a long swim straight out and back rather than keep everyone close to shore? i,e swim out 100/200m, swim parallel to the shore for 500/600m and then swim the 100/200m back in to make the 900m that it was shortened to. If the athletes are swimming that fat out, the have reached the outer buoy where they would turn left, then swim parallel to the shoreline, and following the normal swim course. See course attached Yet it was cut short so they swam to the outer red, then past the final red buoy back to the beach. Am looking for the rough swells? 😋

Pics from athletes at transition checkin today who are racing tomorrow. Seems many think it is still value for money 😉

download the IM Tracker app from your store, IOS/Google and then you will be able to see the event list, and once opened you can search for your mate and will get realtime tracking as he passes the various timing mats

Just like Runners with a Cycling Problem. The format changes done by bikehub have pushed many to look elsewhere as well as quite a lot of long standing cycling members. Nothing to do with price or what you might consider a rip-off. If you want to use such analogy, pretty much anyone who buys a new bike should realize how much they are being ripped off. As for interest, perhaps go to the Ironman relevant event page, click on athlete and then click on the start list and see how many are still happy to pay. Pretty much sold out!! A bit narrow minded to consider that most triathletes sit on the bikehub and as such there being no interest in the thread is a sign of the times. I re-iterate that for many years the Runners with a Cycling Problem was the top thread by posts, now it is nowhere to be seen. Life moves on interests go elsewhere, just because it is no longer on the bikehub, does not mean there is not interest.

I see lots of sour grapes from people who were not quick enough to get the deal. Classifieds is business, buy/sell. Willing buyer/willing seller. Too many people seem to make it personal !!

You can also check out ERGVideo as they have a studio option that you can connect up to 24 trainers for USD60 pm https://ergvideo.com/product-detail/studio-subscription-monthly The video library https://ergvideo.com/info/the-videos You can try for free https://ergvideo.com/ErgVideo-free/whats-free

Also look at Kinomap to see if it is suitable. You can add up to 5 family https://support.kinomap.com/hc/en-us/articles/5344442179988-What-s-the-family-option-

No different to Assioma pedals and no one complains or worries about battery replacement. Whilst I prefer battery replacement (currently run stages and quarq). I would have no problem using one of these and am considering one potentially for a new build.

Only use what you will get on course unless you decide to carry all your own. So try out now and make sure it works for you. Maurten stockists https://maurtenfuel.co.za/cat/stockists/ If your read the athletes guide, it lists everything that will be at the aid stations For Bike - Water/Gatorade/Maurten Gels/Biogen Bars For Run - Water/Gatorade/Maurten Gels/Biogen Bars/Coke

Unless you have liked their page it is likely to go to spam. Ask FB why this is. Even your own personal profile has a spam message folder.

A FB DM will likely go to their spam folder and is why you probably have not had a reply. You would have been better emailing them directly or commenting on a post that is visible. You cannot compare the two because the Cradle Cracker had a no litter policy NB: The Cradle Cracker is a LITTER FREE RACE! https://entrytickets.net/cradlecrackersummer And from what have read, the matter seems to be resolved...

SARS on tax breaks and other incentives for solar in South Africa https://businesstech.co.za/news/energy/662591/sars-on-tax-breaks-and-other-incentives-for-solar-in-south-africa/

Posted on Cradle Riders and Runners FB Group An update on Sean Henderson after being hit by a drunk driver in the cradle yesterday - just called Milpark and chatted to Sean. He's ok. Fractured femur and light bleed on the brain. No operation needed and bleed not a concern to the doctors. Incredibly lucky! He was hit from behind between satellite climb and cradle moon. Speedy recovery mate!

Fantastic racing! Insane! What a crowd!

I have an athlete who uses Mywoosh and the file details I see with WK05 are that it is recorded as a Gamin 3570. He is a Junior and his parents are on Momentum, so cannot confirm whether this will work with Discovery.

What crank do you have on your road and tri bike? If the same then look at a Stages or 4iii which you can transfer as and when required. Alternatively look at Assioma pedals Pacing is now everything in triathlon and pacing to power is the way to go. Hence training and racing to power on a road or tri bike. MTB I would not bother considering.

Look at the Nike Infinity Run as well, can usually pick up the older versions reasonably priced

Use this often for both rides and runs. Also when searching for a race i have not done, especially overseas, can usually find the race route no problem under garmin courses and get all the elevation data to review online, or use with bestbikesplit for pre race analysis , then send to my device for navigation if i need.

What is the reason from what am reading the preferred option is PV (geyserwise) for the geyser rather than evacuated tube or flat plate?

Owned by SRAM, so speak to Cape Cycle Systems and they should be able to advise.
