Cool :thumbup:

 

they also holding an "official " practice swim between 9-11am on saturday at the venue. It just means there are lifesavers around in case the wetsuit can't keep you afloat ! :w00t:

I will be there and I am looking forward to it. This will be my first Tri of the season after having missed 5150 Bela Bela due to the flu. Does anyone know how difficult/easy the bike course is?

course is very flat, only a small hill on the way back (under the highway ~5kms from the finish)

If my finances improved I would be doing them all. Sadly 2013 has not been a good year for some.

Hey Seeker hang tough, I went through some bad times earlier this year and the only thing that kept me sane was training even though I didn't race much. It will be okay!

What get's my goat is that you have to go thru to Germiston on Saturday, register and go through on Sunday again....yeah I know registration is a nightmare on the day but what about reg at Troi or some other stores.

You took the keyboard strokes off my finger tips.

Will be there like a bear.

 

The practice swim at least makes the trip out to Germies a little less irritating. Saturday morning will now be a full course recon.

so how did everyone go out there?

 

swim course was 2.1 apparently - a little off the 1.5 it was meant to be, oh well, good training. my left goggle kept filling with water, couldn't get a good rhythm at all..

 

bike was crazy tough the last 8 km with that headwind.

 

run was a nice easy course.
