ACA Joe Warm Water Weekend

[gadget]

I see we have a stellar field in Langebaan this weekend. Not only will yours truly be racing, but I will be toe to toe (on the start line) with Raynard Tissink, James Cunamma, Conrad the CAveman and Dan Hugo. Hoping that SA's top Age Grouper, Raoul De Jong will also be ther.

 

Heard they are doing the short one though...

That sure is going to be a interesting race

So Raynard dominated the short course with Stuart MArais winning the long one from The Caveman and James Cunamma. Stuart got DQed due to a wrong turn on the run. The markings on the run could have been better, but all and all a GREAT race. IMO the best in the Western Cape. 1. due to the pro field, 2. due to the venue and 3. the small field (+- 60 - 80)

 

Awesome day out. I will never miss this race

Hope someone can help me find this person: My bike's tube popped while parked in transition before the race started. I did not have a spare tube with me, so I thought that was my race done before it even started. I asked around and after a while a lady brought me a tube! I was still in my wetsuit and started taking the wheel off with 5 minutes to go to the start. She looked at me struggling to get the tube out, and asked: have you changed a tube before...? She then offered to change it for me and I went down to the start to begin the swim. Before we started (while waiting for the long route to complete the first lap), she was next to the lagoon to inform met that everything is sorted and my bike is ready! I didnt get a chance to ask her name or where she can be contacted.

 

So, if someone knows her, please send me her contact details. She was wearing some team kit from one of the teams taking part (might be kelfords, but I think it was another team) and she only did the bike and the run and not the full triathlon.

 

 

On another note...when will the results be posted? I also got lost on the short run, went over that damn sand dune again (after 5kms) back to the transition area instead of taking the gravel road to the lunch spot. Lost 3 places (and a lot of calories) after rejoining the gravel road. Awesome event, route marking can improve on the bike and the run, but that should be sorted next year. Also offer a cheaper option for people doing the race and lunch only.
