It was on his FB page - mixed reaction. Some saying they were stoked coz they didnt get into 70.3 and other complaining it was to close.

 

I think it would be perfect prep for the following weekend!

how about the following:

 

swim: at campsbay beach

cycle: the argus route (or part thereof)

run: the two oceans half route

 

I suspect that road closures etc are much harder to get authorised than we might think, so the further you go out of the busy centres the better. During the Gun Run we had to dodge cars in Seapoint on route: if a 16 000 participant event can't get a proper closure for 4-6 hours...

 

I think the best place is swim at Kommetjie, cycle to Cape Point and back(2 lap), run in Kommetjie/Soetmelkstrand resort (no closures needed)... that would be spectacular!

Registrations for the mass participation ITU WTS Cape Town open on December 10. Looking at capping at around 4000 per day.
