PrinceVlad Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 I was at Bay of Plenty this morning....almost shat myself and was fairly quite the rest of the day. I have, however, spoken a few words since receiving the sms!

travisza Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 Everybody just calm the farm. Swell is dropping by the minute and it's only fri evening.
IceCreamMan Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 I believe there was a drowning incident on the coast this morning Umhlanga hence ppl are a lil nervous regarding the swim...what will be will be I guess but I would be disappointed with no swim
MK Killer Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Sea in umhlanga this morning is pretty calm... heard though that the shark nets had been lifted in Durbs.
travisza Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Attention: Grant or anyone from TriRock - please do not make a final call about the swim today!!! You can talk about a dualathlon or shortened swim at race briefing but only make the call tomorrow morning. Yours sincerely,TriRock Athlete
travisza Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Swim change: from ushaka to south beach! Great news! Good luck out there boys and girls
IronTree Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Swim change: from ushaka to south beach! Great news! Good luck out there boys and girlsIs that 1.9 km ?
travisza Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Depends on how they structure the layout I guess. You could swim straight out for 800m and then turn around. Until I hear otherwise I'm assuming it's still 1.9
IceCreamMan Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 We gonna be fine...it will be low tide in the morning..the swim will not be 1.9 I reckon around1.3 or so..then around a 1300 meter run to bike collection...
Rotiringer Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 We gonna be fine...it will be low tide in the morning..the swim will not be 1.9 I reckon around1.3 or so..then around a 1300 meter run to bike collection...I like the sound of this.
IceCreamMan Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Measured it just after I got the SMS....and in a quirk of fate I score....I booked south beach hotel in May thinking the start would be at unshaka.... Then when it was changed I thought ahh hell....but now it starts here again...... I am pretty sure the sea will be much calmer tomorrow AM...worry not... Problem is now we not starting at bike spot so early morningi gotta go to bike, load liquids then down to unshaka pier...bit of a ball ache...
IceCreamMan Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Tri rock just announced swim will be 1.4... So my numbers are in the ball park....seeing at it takes me around 7 minutes to swim 500 and around 7 minutes to run 1.3 it's all going to pan out nicely
