My times were Swim 0:41Cycle 2.48Run 1.30Total time 5:18This would indicate that I took nearly 20 minutes in the transitions. I kept my stop watch running the whole race and it registered 5.08 which is quite a bit off. Did anyone else find a discrepancy? Not that it really matters - I'm just interested that is weird.....my total time was spot but the split times were different due to their measurement an mine. Strange one as modern stopwatches are accurate... Great run by the way....it's where I lost all my time

There was glass at the end of the route out to the lagoon that couldnt be cleared in time so they cleared what they could and had to cut it short

That's fair enough I guess....that mess was unbelievable by the way....most of Durban beachfront looks like that on weekends....disgusting
PrinceVlad Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Strange my time as per my watch was 7minutes shorter than the official result. Swim time was in the ball park, bike spot on and Run about a half hour longer, but according to the official result I spent about 40min in transition! So for my purposes I will go with my watches time and if anyone asks I had a hell of a half marathon

It seems a lot of ppl had 3 minutes in T1 allocated to them an the remaining time allocated to the swim leg....swim took me 34 minutes incl run...they allocated me 39 minutes an 3 minutes transition time making 42.... Should be 34 plus 8....minor issue though
Jono Waddell Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Anyone know where the race pictures can be downloaded?

Cant attach my GPX file but here are the distances according to my Suunto (generally pretty accurate for swim distances) Swim: 1815m (my wife measured 1900m+, but she got bashed off course trying to exit...)"Transition Run" from swim & T1: 1.27kmBike: 88.33kmRun: 17.61km Total: 109.2km Close enough to a full" 70.3 for me... especially with the run to T1! My official times were spot on with my watch, bearing in mind that the run to T1 was included in the "Swim". Awesome bike course.
