dracs Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Arrived last night @22:00 after late start. For those from CT: the road is fine up to 20km past Grahamstown. Then it gets hairy with roadworks up to King Williamstown. Be careful there. It was very hot up to me arriving here (30+). This morning was also hot. Temp gauge in car said 25, but 40km cycle and one lap of run felt more like 30. Very high humidity surprised me. This evening it cooled down nicely with some showers. My weather site says Sunday = same as today but with NE wind. Whatever... After today I'm starting to think that this is going to be fun!Solution - take the coastal (Port Alfred) Rd from PE to EL - never go via Grahamstown... much nicer drive anyway + you miss the roadworks
scottm Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Helloooo Just wandering how the race number works as I only have one, is that correct?Do you only wear it for the run or do you have to wear it on the bike and then unpin it and put it on your running shirt? Did anybody else do the training swim this morning? I feel a lot more confident about it after that apart from not being able to see any of the buoys.
fabes Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Scott go to the expo and buy your self a race belt. Put your number on there. Then after your swim slide the belt on(leave belt with number in bike bag). For the bike it will face the back and for the run it will face the front.
scottm Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Aaaah cool, thanks.I saw them there at the tills but wasn't sure what they were for.
fabes Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Aaaah cool, thanks.I saw them there at the tills but wasn't sure what they were for.Yup those ones Good Luck for the race Scott
fanievb Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Did anybody else do the training swim this morning? I feel a lot more confident about it after that apart from not being able to see any of the buoys. They will be bigger on race day

pista Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 The rain is starting to pour down here at IRONMAN 70.3 South Africa. Still loads of age groupers out there in the rain - some respite from the heat.
