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.

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. :eek:

 

They will be bigger on race day

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.

Nice day out there today.

 

Sea was nice and calm, bike course wasn't very hot due to cloud cover and there was some drizzle on the run course.

 

Compared to last year it was quite a bit easier.

 

Very well organised as usual.

 

Only negative was that the organisers decided that the swim warmup closed at 6:40, meaning almost no one could get a proper warmup.

 

5:50 for me, so better than I was hoping for.

Amazing race on a tough course, I only managed a 5:38, so 18 min slower than I wanted, but on that course for my first one, I am pretty happy..

 

Approximate splits

Swim 35min

T1 6.5 min (crazy slow)

Bike 2:55

T2 2.5 min

Run 1:58

 

That second lap of that run was torture..

 

Only thing which irritated me was the wankers drafting, not slightly, road bikes sucking wheel behind TT bikes on the downhills.. It's plain cheating..

 

One thing is clear, I am getting a TT bike for the full, the guys were flying past me on the way back on the downhills without much effort into the wind..

 

We'll done to everyone who completed it, great achievement..
