PrinceVlad Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 Maybe someone can help. I know that in the 70.3 and full Ironman races you are not allowed to ride a MTB. Does anyone know if it is permitted in this race. Thanks

Does anyone know if it is permitted in this race. ThanksAccording to ITU rules (applying to this race):(ii) For draft illegal events• The bike will be no more than one meter and eighty five (185) centimeterslong, and fifty (50) centimeters wide• The bike will measure between 24 centimeters and 30 centimeters fromthe ground to the center of the chain wheel axle.• There will be no less than 54 centimeters and no more than 65centimeters between a vertical line passing through the center of thechain wheel axle and a vertical line through the center of the front wheelaxle.• There will be a vertical line touching the front-most point of the saddlewhich will be no more than 5 centimetres in front of, and no more tan 15cm behind, a vertical line passing through the centre of the chain wheelaxle, and an athlete must not have the capability of adjusting the saddlebeyond these lines during competition.• Non-traditional or unusual bikes or equipment shall be illegal unless priorapproval has been granted from the Technical Delegate, prior to the startof the competition.• Only logos of bicycle related products may appear on the athlete’s bicycle.• Logos may not interfere with, or hinder the placement of, the bicycle racenumber on the bicycle frame.• Bike race number stickers, provided by ITU or the LOC, must be placed onthe bike as instructed, without any alteration.• Bikes provided with the UCI Time Trial homologation label (Code TT) arealways allowed in ITU draft illegal events, even if they contravene any ofthe 5 first bullets in this 5.2 b) (ii) insert So I dont see reason in there you couldnt use a mtb. Best for organisers to confirm though (edited to correct spelling)
travisza Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 Whats the deal with this R111 service fee? Hate it when the price is advertised as X and then these bogus charges are added on afterwards

travisza Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 Based on the reply from TriRock earlier on this thread that date remains 5 October.
IceCreamMan Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 Seems a go for 5th of October, looking forward to this event....
Dean Lance Tyler Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 Me too! Will be my first half distance and hoping to have a great prep day for Ironman

Evet stats at 07:00 so should be finished by 15:30 ....I reckon that the time from 16:00 to 18:00 is for the last ppl to ensure they get their stuff...the leaders will finish by 11 ...cant see them hanging around til 16:00
MK Killer Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 Was the event swim suit legal last year? I see that the average ocean temperature in Durban is around 23 degrees in October http://www.seatemperature.org/africa/south-africa/durban-october.htm
IceCreamMan Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 I don't own a wetsuit at all...... so unless the water goes below 14 deg I think I will be fine...I think rules are that below 14 compulsory wetsuit, between 14 and 24 the choice is yours, above 24 no wetsuits....
kingalton Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 I see we are cycling 21.1 km and running 90 km for trirock this year? eina, good training for comrades... ;-)
