TSA is a waste of time and they have a history with Louis and his events, Louis (Faceplant) doesn't take their crap and I agree, they are a waste for us as athletes and probably hell for event organisers.

Yeah would love to know as I am converting mine to a SS.

Have a Xterra Vendetta also from Terry, great service great wetsuit

Fisrtly your Ape Index (True thing Google it) has an impact on the setup not the size. Best is to have a measurement done at a tri shop, and let them recommend a bike. then go home and do your research, ie Reviews and geometries. Buy Bike Then have a proper setup done, like in CA if I assume right it would be Jeroen Swart, the good Dr knows his stuff.

So the shirt was crap, does Mr Wolf and Mr Merrel really care....think we all know the answer to that. Why don't they one year say you can all forego the shirt and that Barney the Dinosaur Kindergarten Day Pack and give that money to a charity.....now that will make us feel much better than pissing and moaning?

Cyclelab uses the system developed by Jeroen Swart maybe contact him and ask who knows their stuff in the area and negotiate....

I suggest that you go about it in the right way, u might get someone who does not do a proper job and then u are out of R's and probably have an injury. Rather go see the guys at Cyclefit and make a day of it and spend the money.

Whose Bright idea was it to do it the same date as IMBC, always used to be a week after EL, was always fun to do after and if you had a crappy IMBC then there was always Xterra ......Colour me visible unimpressed

Once you start dishing out funding like Lotto there are going to be upset people and it can backlash against the Hub. I like P.A.K's Idea of Crowdfunding, the parties can canvas and state their case on the Hub and you contribute what you want on Kickstart. Mark Allen even launched his Triathlon book on Kickstart, so the concept is sound.

Xtenex, those little rised buttons (whatever they are called) eventually just loose their grippiness, rather get Lock Laces, just make sure you have enough left over so u can push it under the laces so they dont flop around.

2XU

Exactly my philosophy

I get the usual muscle pain and hit a cataflam before bedtime, next day niggle gone.For me a niggle is something that goes away when training and appears normally after the training event... if it persists.... rest. If it does not go away when training see a Dr. That's just my view, by no means scientific but works for me.

Yep sounds like a plan Garf...good feedback, I guess if if we have IM in the body then it will be okay. Just also remember we have to do a damn seeding race as well-or am I wrong?

Doing Comrades to this year after IM. Anyone done it before? any advice or training programme that you can share. Comrades will be my first....so not to sure if I should be upping running prior to IM or use the time after IM to just hit the distance.

Also from Slowtwitch http://www.slowtwitch.com/Products/Components/Rotor_long_term_test_4118.html Do they work? Only from personal experience I have Rotors on my TT and MTB bikes. Love it on the MTB as it makes the pedalstroke smoother through the terrain. On the Tri Bike I feel that I get off the bike with not as much stress on the legs. I have no data to back this up,this is purely anecdotal but it makes sense if you can optimise the dead spot on a pedalstroke.

The lady in question that helped is Paul Kaye's wife. He made a comment on this on FB https://www.facebook.com/kayeman

Also check out a site called Alibris, they sell secondhand books.

Love my Element 999.

Last Contact I had for 2XU: Louis de Villiers <za@2xu.co.za U cannot go wrong with 2XU, did Rockman this weekend and thought that my butt was toast...not even a bit of discomfort!

Me, Memon (Spelling), Pieterman....that's the one's I know....

I dont think GU and Cramping is related. My thinking is: How much water did u drink before and on the race, how much of that had some form of Electrolyte and Minerals. Also the heat gets to you and that combined with I am guessing here limited hydration that might have caused the cramps and not the GU.

Not necessary faster on a tri bike but more efficient in terms of effort and then opening the hip flexors for the run. So u might bike the same time but how much effort did it take?

Yes it is, just asked the same question on FB, start at the Peninsula on Vaal, check their FB page all info on there.

Take a look at the bike geometries and your body geometry and then decide which one is best suited. I made the mistake of doing the what-is-popular-thing and battled on the bike, so did some research and got a bike that suits me.
