skyfreak Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 Good idea. The Race 4 Victory is that same day. If we are not going to swim then I would much rather do that....... Or maybe we can ask one of the hubbers who lives in Germiston to go down there and collect water samples and drink it. If they stop posting on the hub in a few days time we should have our answer........... :D Why is the JHB Triathlon so expensive??? Do they need to take out insurance if the people die because of the water quality?
nochain Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Will enter this one...hope the water will be ok.I don't like the short tri's and love the Olympic distance stuff(non drafting races). Don't think this event is too expensive, willing to pay up to R400.00 for an Olympic distance event. Anything more than that becomes crazy!
Garfield2010 Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Nochain We will see when they change it on raceday to a run/bike/run. Then all of a sudden it is expensive. I can do the run bike run thing around the block at home. The swimming adds the real dimension to these races (although I swim like a brick)

Willing to take the chance this year because there is only 3 Olympic distance events left this year that I know off in Gauteng and surrounding areas.
Garfield2010 Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Remember, Prestige Ultra 16 Dec also have a OD event. I will skip the Joburg Triathlon as I need to do a 180KM + ride that day. Challenge Cape Town looms!!
Bloupanda Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Everything 100%. Water was tested and approved and triathlon is taking place. jaaa
Garfield2010 Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Hehe, what happens if it rains the day before...... I wonder.....
TYWALK Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Will the water be safe at the The Islands Estate, Hartebeesport ?
Gunston Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 The Island Estate will be a BSG event and not part of the Jhb city try series - water quality is apparently quite good.
Garfield2010 Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Entered the joburg tri seems the water etc is all ok....
bigjoe Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Also entered. See on the website they mention that the tested the water and it is ok. Lets hope it doesnt change before next weekend
Wheelsuck Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 I sont buy this "water is fine" what has changed so drastically?
Thug Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 (edited) I haven't entered as I only started running again last week after a calf injury. Also, don't fancy Germiston's water irrespective of what anyone says. Edited September 16, 2011 by Thug
Pietervdw Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 (edited) also entered, hope I don't end up having 4 eyes by the end of the race... Edited September 19, 2011 by Pietervdw
Garfield2010 Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 also entered, hope I don't end up having 4 eyes by the end of the race... haha see the picks on page one of this discussion topic!
