    Slanghoek Triathlon

    when i broke my legs and ankle a year or 2 ago i could not train for nearly a year and decided while walking with moonboot and leg braces that if i am able to train again,i will never quit.when i felt like quitting i just remembered how shyte it was not being able to be part of this awesome sport.

    Slanghoek Triathlon

    did the long road tri.had a terrible race.everything that could go wrong did go wrong.started at 9 as i am in the old peoples group.swim started fine untill the first x terra bouy.got kikked and my xt 910 went off the arm.spent about 7 min doing some scuba diving to find watch.eventualy found watch.everytime i came up for air i got swam over and goggles came off.took me huge chunks of time to put watch back on and get the goggles sorted.seriously considered just going to the dam wall and calling it quits.took some time to gather the thoughts and decided to carry on.at this stage i was far back.second loop of the swim went fine.in t1 i could not get my wetsuite off as the oke who zipped me up zipped my tri top in the zipp of the wetsuite.eventualy got it off.the bike went fine untill i got a puncture from some glass on the road.off the bike,new tube,bomb and on i slogged.i also managed to cut my finger when removing the glass from the tire.in trying to catch up on the rest of the bike i burnt way too many matches and forgot to stay properly hydrated which came back to bite me in the ass on the run.the terain did not suite me as i have had ligament surgery on both legs and left ankle before so i need a sure footplant.this is the reason i do not do trail running.slogged it out in the heat and ended up in 3 hours 29 min.definately a day for the brain to work hard to just keep going.at least my bad race and shyte karma is gone now.
  9. the yellow baby shampoo solved my fogging problems.and it smells nice and if some of it gets in your eyes it does not burn.
  10. wound has finaly closed after having some dead tissue cut out.now to try and make a plan with the scarring.if anyone wants to know anything about plasters speak to me as i am now an expert.
  11. i am not a morning person and struggle to get out of bed before 6. I envy people who can train that time of the day.
  12. i also work for myself.when i drop the kids off at school i try and go for a swim.take a run over lunch time.office has a shower.bike over weekends.if i go after work i try to take my kids with to gym as they both swim so while they are with the instructor i do my sets.have a very understanding wife.
  13. i just moer everything into a kway bag and sort it out when i get to the destination.
  14. had sort of the same problem.ended up selling to fam and friends all the toys and got myself garmin 910 xt.trying to simplify all the gadgets.now i only look for one charger
  15. i feel for you brother and hope this ends well.
  16. time.busy training for my first 70.3 and my wife does not want to mow the lawn.will go and look for the dogs this afternoon in the tall grass
  17. i am lost as well but it seems some cyclists are going thanks to people who has cycling on their hearts.
  18. i have found some garmin spares previously at cape union mart in tygervaley centrum.the up side was that i bought a whole packet of garmin bike mounts(3)for the price of one.you can try them.hope you get sorted.
  19. maybe i am doff , but what exactly is/was the problem?is this a rant re the clothing ,earpiece,lack of climbing power,etiquette re gobbing or a rave re big gear,i am stronger on uphills?
  20. ok so it has been just over a month after the bite.the wound is slowly healing and i am off the anti biotics.just some honey based wound gel 3 times a day and micropore.dr says it will still take a month or 2 for the wound to close.training going fine.spiderman lives another day.
  21. untill all roadusers learn and practice that the roads are shared and not owned,this type of thing will continue.in the meantime i would rather be a living dog than a dead lion.btw i drive a car,motorbike,road bike,mtb and i jog.
  22. i like this.sal die etters twee keer laat dink hopelik.wonder net hoe mens die boodskap by die massas kan uitkry sodat dit as afskrikking kan dien.well done to all involved.
  23. this would also be on my to do list , but unfortunately i suck at going up a hill on a bike.beautifull to watch though.the womans winner(think Mary Beth Ellis) looks super strong.
  24. dont know what to do wrt parts etc but have found that henk at cwc knows the garmins as well as a girl at cape union mart in tygervalley centre.as for repairs i will hold thumbs that mine does not break.
