  1. Six months ago Songo Fipaza could not float, let alone swim. On Sunday the 29th March he completed open water 3.8km swim - then topped that with the 180km cycle and 42km run in the Iron Man championship in Mandela Bay. A great cyclist and runner, Songo’s dream of competing in Triathlons would remain that –unless he could learn to stay afloat and then to swim. Click here to view the article

  3. Ai, didn't think I'd be back posting about this event so soon. Saw the following tweet and got out the credit card: Crazy that the event sells out so quickly. Definitely room for another event in SA somewhere.
  4. Legends, hi. Apologies for posting this here, the classifieds section wouldn't accept my login. It is with a heavy heart that I'm not going to be able to make the 70.3 in January, and as such, my Hotel Osner room is available (luxury, aircon etc etc). It's for one adult, but you can certainly add additional persons. I've paid the R2080 deposit (50%), so that is all I ask for the 'swop', and will provide you with booking reference etc. You, obviously, would need to liaise with Kat Leasure to settle the outstanding amount. Pvt message me if interested, or know of anyone who may be. Much appreciated, B.
  5. Hi, I am in the process of finalising accommodation for IronMan in March. The previous times we stayed at the City lodge, which is awesome and very convenient. However, it is getting a bit pricey to stay there. Any other places that can be recommended? I was looking at the garden court, 50% discount with vitality but it seems a bit out of the way. Familiy, especially kids love the City lodge because they can stand in front of the hotel to support and run to the hotel room when needed. So, it is now down to a matter of convenience vs price. Was wondering if anyone has any other places they can recommend. Maybe some info on the garden court from people that have stayed there previously? We normally stay at the garden court with 70.3, so I am not worried about the hotel, but more the logistics of getting the family to support etc. Any advise will be appreciated. Thanks
  6. Buy either a Wing 57 or a Windmax Rudy Project helmet, and you could win an Ironman 2015 entry! Available at any of our dealers, or when you buy online at www.rudyproject.co.za. Simply send us your proof of purchase to enquiries@asgworld.co.za.
  7. Had a really long day at Ironman this year... 5 years of bike hassles in 180kms.... Best be forgotten Nonetheless - this got me thinking. Why does no-one ride a 1-11 setup on a TT bike? Answers to my own questions would be: minimal weight saving (Cabling, derailleur, chainring, shifter etc...dont add up to much) Any weight saving would be reduced by having to add a chain guide Gap between gears is too large. Optimal cadence is in a very narrow range of maybe 5 rpm (not sure what Sheldon Brown says about this) My situation further compounded by running Osymmetric (not Rotor etc...) front rings. Thoughts?

  9. Hey hubbers. I am doing my first full ironman this year. Yikes. I am keen to get a TT bike, but won't be able to prior to this years event. Was wondering whether there are any kind souls out there, who ride a 56cm TT bike and lives in Joburg who would be willing to let me ride their pride and joy Worth an ask Scrumpy
  10. If you’re doing your first Ironman 70.3 in East London this weekend you’re probably beside yourself with nerves. Click here to view the article
