travisza Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 Entry Fee, Flight and Accom approx. R8kIMSA without the Specsavers Sponsorship, its gonna hurt the wallet.1.) why i'm holding back on entering hoping for sponsor to step in (not all that likely though I dont think)2.) you're confusing 70.3 and IM here
banna Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 Respect the swim may be a more appropriate statement. Remember two fatalities this year (RIP). Do open water training, in some rough conditions if possible, train in your wetsuit as well. Dont underestimate a 2 km swim in difficult conditions. Jip, agree completely. And also don't forget that swimming in the pool in your own lane is very different to having to share the space with another 3000 swimmers. Some people get flustered very quickly after a kick in the face or some oke trying to swim right over them. I guess the key is not to panic. Easier said than done though.
GSNieP Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) Will be there with my wife, both going for our 3rd year in a row. Hope to have a good time, need to go and improve my time on my way to a 2nd full IM Hi TinyJoe,You won't be catching me next year either ... because I will not be at 70.3:-( Good luck with your training. Remember it's al about the run! Edited July 10, 2013 by GSNieP
ADe Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 I am in. Entered last week. For me its all about the bike. You have to respect the bike. You can be a brilliant runner, but if you have not prepared well for those hills on the bike, you will not have the legs to run a decent time.
