impressive... their courses differed though

How so? I would have thought that they would do the exact same route, just different start time.

[Swim.Bike.Run]

Well done to the Caveman and Carla!

[Grondpad]

Well done to all from SA. Looks like we are really strong on the Tri seen. Cross, IM and Olympic distance! Brilliant

[Eldron]

Brilliant stuff! Would have loved to see him and Dan go head to head but that was not to be...

 

Is there any corner of the sporting world we haven't conquered? Ah yes. Soccer

nope the Elites used a 4 x 5 km mtb route used for xc racing

the Age groupers and u23's used a 2 x 10km route

[dracs]

Excellent - well done! Sad thing is most S African's have no idea who the caveman is let alone what he has accomplished.
