    I gave my entry to somebody else who will do the necessary to transfer to his name.

    I am just sad. Have picked up a rather serious injury from triathlons (stress fracture of my tibia) so had to give up my entry. Was so looking forward to this race.

    I will be there, but for the 70.3. Deferred Durban now in October 2022 to PE next year due to sea e-coli and shin splints. Hope all goes well for March 2023.

    Give it a TRI

    E-coli levels even worse at the published readings today. I think it is a done deal. Duathlon it will be or I will eat my hat. E-coli levels well over 5,000.

    Start thinking duathlon instead of triathlon for Durban. The Ecoli levels are really bad

    Not a chance I am throwing more money into a Durban event at this stage

    Anyone signed up for Durban 70.3 in just over 2 weeks time? Do you think we are going to swim with the level of e-coli in the sea?

    Cyclists and runners, please be aware that crime is rife in Centurion at the moment. Areas targeted in my direct residence: - 1. Olievenhoutsbosch Road 2. Nelmapius Road 3. Route 21 Corporate Park There seems to be a gang driving around in a White VW Polo (no number plates). They are armed and dangerous. Apparently they are driving in front of runners and cyclists (very slowly like they are lost). They suddenly stop and 4 men jump out with guns. They are taking watches, jewelry, cell phones, bicycles and running shoes.

    Need assistance please. How do I connect Zwift onto my phone via Blue Tooth as well as my Polar Vantage M for heart rate recording please? I can get it to connect to my phone but then it will not connect to my watch as well.

    Hope she is okay. A bit of a strange story on face value.

    So sad. I did my first 70.3 at Sun City Ultra a few weeks ago. Finished in 6hours 50 minutes. Was really hard. The water was choppy, the wind blew from the side on the bike and the run is seriously hard. Anyway a few days of rest and onward and upward with training / recovery as Durban was on the horizon. Went out for a slow, flat 6km run and felt a pain in my right achilles. Nursed achilles for a few days and then the pain really set in. Off to doc. Sent for a scan. Hello Grade 1 tear to the right achilles. Farewell 2021 Durban. Deferred to 2022. Oh well, at least 2021 saw me do a 70.3. Now got my sights on: - Germiston 5150 if it happening 947 cycle Redhub triathlon sprint

    I am looking for a tracker device (not cell phone) that is small enough to put in a pocket of running shorts. The tracker should be able to receive calls from selected numbers, make calls to selected numbers and maybe have a panic button. I also want it to be GPS activated so that my husband can track where I am on his cell phone. Anyone recommend something in this line please? I run alone (up to 21km) and do not want to carry my cell phone (it is too big) and also do not wish to be a target with it on me.

    Such a sad place we live in. Strongs to the cyclist who needed medical attention. Be safe out there all

    I see on their website the first Trinity tri event is 13 December 2020. Cannot make that one as my daughter has her swimming champs then.

    I am gutted. Just about to start tapering for my first triathlon and boom there it goes. Hard work, dedication and family time taken up for training to have it taken away. Second one this year - First 70.3 Durban and now this. Our entries are carried over to next year but next year is May and Durban is in June. Not great. Damn you Sun City

    Anyone done the Sun City Ultra before. Please could you let me know whether you think it is novice friendly. Entered Durban 70.3 for 2020 which is now 2021 so would like to do a triathlon for experience.
  21. ycowley
    Thanks all.
  22. ycowley
    Hi Please can you give me some advice on an indoor trainer that is Zwift compatable at a non wallet breaking price and easy to use.
