    Two weeks to go ,training has been good ,picked up a small groin injury so took of the running the last few days seems to be ok now ,had a solid 950 km total ,and 54 hours of training in December. so lets hope all goes well on the day its my third El and so hoping to brake the 6 hours barrier 2017 7:10 and 2018 6:39 , but as we all know 39 min is a shi"""""" load to take of .especially in east London. can only hope to be strong on the day. all the normal little things been sorted bike serviced, nutrition ,accommodation extra....... traveling down on the 24th must say quiet exited. all the best to all the hubbers participating save travels.

    Race week and the drive down to Durban, same story for me, have not been in full training mode. as i am also fighting the dreaded snot nose as i think the hole of Johannesburg is. had a couple of good training sessions after IMSA and hope i can fall back on that. as for drafting it is what it is there will always be people drafting in the age grouper times slots i think the referees are more strict on the leading guys , but do agree with more motor bikes and less km to cover maybe there will be loads spending time in the penalty tents. i try and keep to my own race on the bike leg and do not care if people draft ,what drives me insane is the came kazie pilots that over take you on the left when theirs hardly room for a mouse. save travels to all the hubbers heading down to Durban enjoy and be save out there

    if all goes well 35-37 min swim for me so will try go of in the middle of the second 30min batch. always find it to be duur mekaar anyway me swimming over people and people swimming over me i dont think people self seed in there proper times excitement gets the better of participants,and its go,go.go,go easy solution ironman should seed swimmers from previous race times and first timers start at the back

    Hi corinda coming from a so so swimmer not the most experienced in the ocean ,i recon if you have done a phew open-water swims you will be OK ,getting in and out the surf is challenging on a ruff day but once you are in its very similar to open water ,a wet suit makes live much easier and the salt water gives you bit more buoyancy,the rolling start also make it less intense and settles the nerves,ad 10 min to your pool time for 1.9km and fall in with that time slot at the start good luck enjoy your race

  17. Morne Heystek
    you might have a point there,they might use us as Ginny pigs for the split transition ,before the pros return next year.
  18. Morne Heystek
