    I will be there along with a few of my athletes. At least the weather is improving and will not be so windy. On the bike leg the first part out of town and at the turn-around will be the worst of the hills, the rest is a gradual grind on the way out. Will be a nice and fast return to T2. Good luck and enjoy your race!!

    Ya I think with all the media and sponsorship demands after winning Kona for the first time am sure there was limited time to train let alone recover from the Kona effort that even he admitted was hard. Also felt for him and never like to see someone pull out. At least KB kept us entertained on the last 3 miles of the run!! Didn't figure Kanute would be in the mix!! Great effort....

    As an aside it is not only in SA. British cycling which I follow, have very few road races or even tours these days. They also tried to adapt by having crit racing around various areas/towns so to try to get crowds to watch (Crit racing also big in the US). After a few years this also now seems to be dying and sponsors also pulling out. So difficult in current climate and there does not seem to be the desire to race like it use to be.

    Think Iden will take it from KB although KB is better at the shorter distance. Cannot see anyone else over the Norwegian Train. Ditlev perhaps to be in the mix? Tough to call between Lucy and Taylor Knibb, with Emma Pallant as the dark horse

    If going on a holiday, consider hiring in France, plenty of options and a lot less hassle

    I use a cable stretcher pliers. Icetools and Pedro's make them too. If for any reason that does not work then I use a Shimano MTB brake block spacer

    Considering she had most of the year out with injury, think it was a great achievement and I see on insta she is very happy with the result. Her time will come

    Race went well for me and 3 of my athletes doing their first 70.3. All finished, all have stories and all are happy!! Conditions were great, except for the heat and humidity on the run. Hopefully we will be back to racing in June next year rather than the heat and humidity of October

    Broke a bolt on the clamp to the extension, so had to ride with just the one extension on the tri bike

    https://www.teljoy.co.za/elite-suito-home-trainer For a little bit more of what you pay for a few months rental, there some tacx and a bkool smart wheel on trainers in the classified that will do the job for structured workouts for a triathlon training as you are not sprinting and generally only doing intervals in Z4, so wont have to worry about any wheel slippage and will be good enough. You can also use it then after Mossel Bay 70.3
