B-Active Sports Posted September 10, 2012 Share Hi Guys Water Temp on Thursday last week was around 19 / 20deg at Midmar Dam according to the Police rescue divers training there that day. So in my opinion it looks like it might be a wetsuit swim! Happy training! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeker911 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Well the pool I train in was 27 this morning. After 20 laps I started to feel like I was in a gold fish bowl in Dubai. 19 / 20 much better with or without wet suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeker911 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Can we please clarify this I quote from the event information page " Competitors to use their own Yellow swimming caps unless race Swim caps are given at registration" so I dont have a yellow cap right now. So what you are saying is that just in case you decide not to issue competitors with caps on reg day we must supply our own. Surely you know NOW whether you are going to issue yellow caps or NOT. Sorry to be a stickler on this point but I have had to learn the hard way through stupid mistakes in races so when I see things like this I get somewhat excited.

Seeker911 Posted September 20, 2012 Share I'm doing some mental checks here. If the race starts 7h20 that gives me 40 mins to do my swim so I should be out of the water by 8h00. The cycle is flat so it should be a 3h00-3h15 ride for me so that puts me back in transition at about 11h15 and ready for the run. What I would like to know from the good folks out there who done this before what kind of temperatures can I expect at that time of the day ?

bradwentzel Posted September 20, 2012 Share Entering on Sat (after pay day) make sure there are slots available! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeker911 Posted September 20, 2012 Share This is interesting as well "There will be a water point here, where competitors will be allowed to hand over special requirements and bottles" does that mean we can stash icy cold water bottles in cooler bag so they dont get hot like up at the 5150 at Bela Bela ?

B-Active Sports Posted September 24, 2012 Share Hi Seeker The race site was set up 7 months ago and we did not have confirmation of swim caps back then.What we are saying in regard to your swim cap, is that you MUST supply your own back up one just incase we don't suppy. This is usual preperation for any athlete who has done a few races, always have spare cap, goggles and a few other items. You will be happy to know that everyone WILL now be getting a yellow swim cap for the October event. I would suggest you bring a spare anyway... just incase you tear or loose your race one. (Always be prepared!) You can stash ice cold water bottles in a cooler bag at the bike water point with pleasure. You will however be required to fetch them yourself as our water table staff will be managing the dedicated race water table. Good luck in your final race prep!

I have many spare swim caps that I have gathered over time in red, blue, black, orange etc etc but I dont have a yellow one BUT after Oct 7 I will. I just did not want to waste money getting a yellow one when I already have so many swim caps. Looking fwd to the race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
