Joburg Triathlon

[Garfield2010]

Definately wetsuit legal..... spoke to the race organisers and they virtually guaranteed it. Even if the water is too warm they should still make it wetsuit legal just to protect us from all the shiiit in the water!

Every year the weather at Germiston is cr*p... I can't remember that there ever was a day without wind, rain or mist... its like freakin Capetown.

[Garfield2010]

Sat Numerous showers. Afternoon clouds. Mild. 26°C 13°C 22km/h NE 68% 26°C Minimal 11mm 94% Sun Numerous showers. Morning clouds. Mild. 24°C 13°C 19km/h NE 79% 25°C Minimal 9mm 77%

 

it just got worse

[Garfield2010]

During this time of the year, when does it rain in Germiston normally? Mornings or evenings?

Entered and looking forward the first triathlon for the season!!

Also I think it is great that they have a 35plus cat (not that I will be able to compete now) ...hate it when they enter us into the elite cat at the triathlons and duathlons.

 

Why not just always have a 30 plus cat, you don't have to have big prize money...just let us compete in our own age cat.

And the 30plus guys that still want to compete elite just enter as open...

i know its off this topic but does the Energade Triathlon at The Islands Estate (Harties) still use the Harties Dam water or is it a seperate lake/dam system ?

[Garfield2010]

Apparently it is a channel of some sorts next to the dam. It is clean according to all involved.

I'm not really one to complain about goodie bags but but wtf is up with the Joburg Tri "goodie" bags. I expected something special after the promotional material highlighting how cool these will be with content worth over R800.... and whats with that "technical running shirt" (aka vest)

 

Lets hope the race is better and lives up to the expectations created.
