  1. every now and again i rinse the straps under running water to get rid of the salt.I take out the pads less often as the velcro sometimes comes loose.throw the pads in washbasin wash thoroughly and let them dry.as good as new.
  2. i am going to need some new tyres shortly.I have always ridden maxiss crossmark tyres filled with stans with no problems.I see cwc advertising crossmarks for 399 , but when reading description i see there is a sidenote that they will not honour warranty if filled with stans(amonia?).Is this something new that has changed with newer crossmarks or have I just been lucky so far?.Any idea as to what problems i might expect if going the crossmark stans route?
  3. where can we find some pictures that were taken during the race?

  11. i followed the race via the fb feed,We live to fight another day.
  12. but off course.firstly i am a horrible pool swimmer but I have never realy struggled in ow.i guess that comes from swimming ow as a youngster.70.3 distance wise i am always in low 30's and IM ballpark between 1;10 and 1;15.but then again i do not work too hard in the water.i was lucky to be around great open water swimmers/triathletes in PE in 1987-1991.if all else fails i resort back to what Kevin Richards always said.slow is smooth and smooth is fast.to swim robben island takes consistent swimming.once you can swim comfortable 3-4 times a week ballpark 5 km per swim you should be ok.but and this is a big but nature will always have the last say.I have swum 4 km sub 1 hour but also 48 minutes to cover less than 200m depending on conditions.drop me a dm and i will be happy discuss your endevour.it is truly a great swim to do.
  13. i come from a seaside town and the school(only one in town)did not have a swimming pool so the sea was my pool.started with triathlons and did my first in 1987(the old radio 5 /Perm series).i have always enjoyed open water swimming as can be seen from my ppic.this was taken this year during a robben island crossing.the distance is not so much the thing that catches you out,but the elements.mother nature is a fickle mistress.i hate pool swims but if that is what it takes to experience ow swimming so be it.
  14. synced and showing on garmin connect but nothing on discovery
  15. I use venteze but only like 1 or perhaps 2 dosis a day.would I be banned?
  16. my sister in law stayed in Tauranga now in new Plymouth.visited them quite a few times and must say that riding the trials on the mtb in redwood forrest and taking the road bike up the mount in new Plymouth has been some of my best rides. just cruising on the coastal walkways also most enjoyable.rode the bone collector.enjoy the new experience and best wishes in the land of the long cloud.
