Thanks Mallo... If I do it... I'm looking to do the swim in under 40 minutes... the 20km cycle in 30/35 minutes depending on the wind... and the run in about 20/25 minutes. ewep... you say you've been up and down the river? Are you a fisherman? :-p

Baie baie baie mooi meneer ... Alles is perfect! maar ek prefer n "Cherry" agter die bike...

Baby steps you say... 100m's is even to far ... I'll start with 1m, 2m, 3m... The thing is... when you swim at home or at a gym... you get tired and then stand... In the Vaal... how deep is the water we swim in? Can I stand? I doubt it, so that's what's getting to me. I'll be the first in history to doggy paddle 600m's in a time of 3 hours .

pererace70, I wanna do the whole thing myself. I was thinking of that but it's more of a challenge to do all the legs yourself. I can swim... but 600m's?

I'm still thinking if I should do this. It's the weekend after the 94.7 at Vanderbijl Park. My swimming sucks, my running really sucks and 20km's sounds like a moer of a long way to cycle . To all those out there that are posers ... I mean tri-athletes, how and what would you suggest and what should I expect? I just wanna do this for fun. 600m is far to swim. I can handle the 20km ride and 5km run... I worry about the swimming. Anyone else doing this?

tazman, sorry to hear about your sh*tty weekend ... as for the lift there's millions of these around and you won't have to wait in traffic if there is any... they can do the off road and weaving thing very well... http://www.hbc.ac.za/web1/mb/taxi.jpg

What do you think... gosh (Say like Napoleon)

Thanks scotty!

Thanks everyone... well those who helped... appreciate it.

Elite men 05:45... I'll miss Telly tubbies

Michelle it's not my team... It's the Operators...those guys you work with! They on a different Budget... Stick to the topic please

I never thought this day would come where I start a thread wrt. mountain biking . Yes I'm embarassed... but I have a couple of mates that want to go on team building... They looking to spend the day mountain biking (Yawn). I know or I've read/heard of Logwood and Northern Farm. Does anyone have details (Contact/Directions etc) for these places and where would you chaps recommend? These guys have a tight budget so nothing fancy. Thanking you all way way way in advance...

Hi boys/gals/epoh and ewep I have a guy who think's we friends looking for an Argus entry. He has just started cycling and is keen to do the Argus. He just finished his first race, the Telkom and what a race... Hi, meet my hilly little friend Hekpoort... Anyway... If anyone's looking to flog their entry drop me a PM and we can take it from there. Thanks

Yeah BIBS rule... but are a little bit more pricey... but well worth it!

IanJ, youngsters!?!!?! What can I say! Good luck to everyone...

I do? I said I'll try... so if she does have some stuff in her drawers, they not mine!

ehehe... Nah... I just think they look really dorky from the back... all flat and no shape... Hey...That's my personal opinion... Don't mean to offend anyone just see it as me being different cause the world would suck if we were all the same hey?!?! FOR ME GIRO! WHY? Cause Lance wore one!

Must be the GAYEST helmet I have ever seen... No offence Dr. Seuss but I just don't like em

Does anyone know when we will be able to buy the 2006 Giro helmets that they used in the TDF? Are they here yet? If so... where?

Thanks... now you have a twin! Jason2006-10-11 08:30:35
