around the rocks 2.5 km swim on 15 Feb 2014.registration at 7am race at 9am R100 entry fee.swimming from blouberg to eden around the outside rocks.www.NTRI.co.za.

entered extreme swim around the rocks in 2 weeks and peninsula 21,1km the following day.maybe that will work.

I have a question.Is it normal to suffer from post race blues.I am realy struggling after the race euphoria of 70.3.Anyone else out there in the same boat and how to take it further.

some looneys out there.saw oke without helmet coming up durban road against the 3 lanes of traffic just past tygervalley centre yesterday afternoon at about 17hoo.that was after i had to swerve to avoid hitting oke coming up eversdal road and not bothering to stop at the very red robot.

terry from xterra wetsuites normally have a type of gezebo at the races where you can rent from.if doing the short one wont bother with wetsuite.if long consider it.

entered 70.3 and started training consistently jan last year.24 kg less of me this jan.i think consistent training rather than every now and then is key.

did the minimum.sort of ok swim,maintained on the bike with nothing spectacular,but also no real problems.clocked 6m/km for the first lap of the run and then 5:10/km for the second lap.felt strong so no problems for me.used the race to fine tune nutrition and to run off the bike.next up will be jan 26 after a bit more training over the festive season.learned my lesson re the sunburn at slanghoek so no problems this time around.all in all nice solid race for me.

i enjoyed the goodie drum.

flat warm and windy sort of sums it up.

not on the swim but then again i do not do the same distances and top out in training at about 3 km.i have pins and needles in my left hand currently with a marked drop in pincher power between thumb and the next finger.ist is to such a degree that i cannot shift properly on the mtb lately.going to a dr as well.physio also said pinched nerve somewhere.i guess it is from all the spinning classes of late.i hope you get sorted because it is irritating and even worse not knowing what it is.good luck.

i use gu because i know it will be available on raceday and i am not going to experiment on raceday with some free stuff.learned that lesson long ago the hard way.

in effect i have between 3 and 5 roctanes over the 100km bike and 20 km run together with 2 bottles of 32 gi.

breakfast oates pap with some honey,2 slices of toast and 2 lekker koffies 3 hours before training.i set my alarm to go and eat and then go back to sleep.2 bottles of 32gi on the bike with 2 roctanes over a period of a 100km ride.on the run just water with a roctane every hour.the biggest differencewas when changing to roctane.btw dischem is cheapest.

changed from gu to gu roctane.

been training for some time now and at long last found out what works for me nutrition wise.big step forward.many months of trial and error.realized again that what works for one person does not always work for another.for me it is more the journey than the race in the end.looking forward with abated breath.

i have entered 70.3 and it will be my first half im.scared shitless at the moment.had my biggest weekend to date with a 2.5 open water swim on friday a 18 km run on sat and a 100km bike on sunday.

we had a swim at clifton's 4th beach last saturday.chilly.tri shorts is the way to go at x terra though.

aero,forward seatpost and a lekker saddle makes a huge difference.

different goggles for different faces.bought my 4th pair today.hope you find goggles that does not give you grief.

the water is nice and warm and the sharks are nearer to the island side towards hartenbos.you can either use the bouys as sighting or swim just behind the little break thats there,but waves are not an issue.

santos beach from the yacht club to the reefs starting point is your best bet for the swim. there is also lekker cold beers within 2 min of coming out of the water at the train restaurant.

if it is anything like slanghoek sunblock would be the first item to pack.

wil also be there but just doing the mini.cant answer your question as it will be my first.

daai ou met die beweerde drol in sy broek het seker hulle site gehack.

i don't know why a nameless person did not sing a song in a specific place. I would however suggest you find out who this person was and take it from there.
