reteid

beginning of the year i struggled to get from the one side of the pool to the next.yesterday i had a mile swim in the quarry at hillcrest,so i gues my winter training is going somewhere.

I am 6 years past my sell buy date then.Cant wait for 26 Jan 2014.

Nervous is not bad.I am still shatting myself after doing my first tri in 1987.what seemed to work for me is the following:listen to your body.if your legs hurt very much then go for a swim or a bike ride.if your legs just hurt go for a run.eat when your hungry,drink when you are thirsty.enjoy the never ending journey.consistency is the key.

You can choose between the Mark Alan program (shamaan,chrystals,hrm,taper etc)alt the Dave Scott program(put shoes on run,put speedo on swim,klimb on bike ride train at suicidal pace and today is a good day to die).Programs vary as much as individuals.Having siad that with tongue in cheeck,i have found the beginner triathlete programs very usefull but more from a planning perspective.You can also have a look at the book Triathlons for dummies or join a club such as Embark.Happy training and will see you on the starting line next year.

most of the time alone.but then again i had a nice time with 40 other people in a shuttle day on contermanskloof over the weekend.

is this an accident or on purpose?

so lekker to hear good news.my only gripe is that this got less coverage than eg brackenfell vs bellville rugby match.but i like .

ditto on the price question

i feel for you brother.

Nick Cave and the Badseeds for today.

btw i realy liked the way froome ended that stage yesterday.

i know i will most probably not even get up those hills but here is something that has been bugging me for some time.everyone is tired when crossing the line.why is voekler the only guy who always looks like he is a ventreliquist with the pulling face?

way to fast for me.

nee man.weet nie waar die idee ontstaan het dat ek nog in ma se huis bly nie.mens moet darem so af en toe vir jou ma gaan kuier.aparte huise.verskillende dorpe.verskillende provinsies.

thanks gummibear.

was in die koshuis van sub A tot matriek toe army toe varsity.so in die huis by mammie 5 jaar uit die huis 40jr plus.

today is rodger waters day.

spoiled myself.

my ma gebruik ook die verkleinwoorde.ek het al alles probeer aangesien dit my irriteer.as sy vir n broodjie vra sny ek dit in sulke klein nagmaalstukkies en bied dit dan aan.ek het nou opgegee.sys darem al in haar 80's so dink nie sy gaan verander nie.ek het my bes probeer vir meer as 30 jaar.

do i need to take a minimum number of shirts?

i have a red led reflective light on the back of my helmet,one on the seatpost as well as one on my jersey when i go out any time of the day.yesterday and saturday in the mist saw many a person on a bike with no lights.i do not even want to start on the okes jumping stop streets near durbanville yesterday and then still showing the car a finger when he hooted.darwin will take care of them.

this is good news.thanks guys.was so chuffed to go under 29 min the first time yesterday for a 1.5 km swim.must have been the wetsuite.

Hi fellow hubbers.I have taken the big step and entered 70.3 2014.to get me through winter swimming and more important not to drown I bought a wetsuite.(great service from Terry at X Terra).I understand that wetsuites and clorine are not the best of mates.I try to swim in the suite every now and then just to get used to the feeling(what a great feeling).I immediately rinse it well under the shower inside and out.I do not want the suite to disintegrate before the race next year.Am I paranoid or would the suite be OK.I rinse it inside and out sommer by standing under the shower as I come out of the pool.

privacy will make a good currency.

coming back from a recent mtb race it was interesting to see how the cars with bikes on the back were driving back home.suffice to say i believe it is the person who is an arse.
