  1. I've always wanted to do an ultra-distance triathlon but it has always been a bit out of my reach. I'm not a member of a triathlon club, I don't own a time trial bike, and I can't swim properly. I've completed a few shorter triathlons, including the Jailbreak Minimum Escape, but Jailbreak Maximum Security is my biggest triathlon undertaking to date. Click here to view the article
  2. Richard Murray finished third at the ITU World Triathlon Series in Yokohama on Saturday. It was only Murray’s second race in the WTS this season and his best performance after his fifth place in Cape Town a few weeks ago. Click here to view the article
  3. Hi Guys - sorry if this is an obvious question or not right for this forum. I have entered my first half iron man in Durbs in October and basically learning to swim at the moment and hoping that my riding and running shouldn't be a problem. What I'm not clear about is what you ride in, do you wear your riding shorts with padding etc while you swim under a wetsuit and then just pull the suit off and ride. Then do you run in cycling shorts with the padding? Or am I getting the whole thing wrong and you just wear normal tights and ride with no padding?

  9. 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
  10. In our article last week, we spoke about the proposed benefit of compression garments to enhance recovery following an intense cycling test. We are sticking to the recovery theme this week, but we are changing exercise modes and athletes. Triathletes are challenged to improve their performances in three different exercise modes. In order to achieve this they will often perform more than one session in a single day and often train in two modes of exercise (swimming, cycling and running). Click here to view the article

  16. I had always dreamed of Kona, and had read so much about the race, the course, the athletes, Huggo’s, the undie run, and so on. What I didn’t envisage was how tough writing about the race would be. Unlike my only attempt at racing on the Big Island, this is my sixth attempt at this race report. Click here to view the article
  17. I’m on a plane somewhere above the Rockies at the moment, and I’m slowly trying to pull the pieces of my race together. For now, I’d like to let you know what the experience is like before and after the race. I’ll get to the experience of the race in the next post. Click here to view the article
  18. I’ve been on the big island for a week, and its quite clear that there is something brewing. We’re pretty fortunate to be staying on Ali’I Drive about 2 miles from the start. In our complex, we have three world champs and about 15 other professionals just hanging around, going for rides and runs like we all do. Click here to view the article
  19. The Jailbreak Triathlon, taking place on 10 December, will be held in the Slanghoek Valley this year, as the drought stricken Dam on Doran Vineyards is currently not ideal for swimming. Click here to view the article
  20. Saw on my FB feed that he's going to attempt a 70.3 somewhere where it's terribly cold. For a man who does the 10k in UNDER 30 minutes, a top 10 swimmer each time, and a 350W+ avg over the 40km, surely this is laughable? My question is - why are most pros scared to "branch" off into longer disciplines, like in Richard's case? He's a world class, probably the best in the Olympic distance, surely he could still dominate the 70.3? He also just recently became the Xtrerra National Champion, so he's an on road AND off road national champion. How many (local) athletes can say that?! Side note - one of the Brownlee brother's qualified for the 10000m track event for GB...
