JGR Posted November 20, 2013 Share I am starting this thread for the following reasons: 1. Share training experience and new techniques2. To support each other through times of doubt3. Discuss equipment4. Discuss races/events5. Recent news6. Group swims/rides/runs This is not about complaining about costs of bikes, events, location, times ect. It is my hope to share positive experience with like minded people who are involved in triathlon or are looking to be involved in triathlon.

ebenvn Posted November 20, 2013 Share Good idea - thanks! Wish there was a couple of 70.3 distances to get some good rides in for IM... As far as I know it's basically Midlands Ultra and IM 70.3 Any road races where one can get some TT time in (ideally a "double like the 94.7...)

Perhaps we should enter a local PPA and start with the temps and use the bars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnow Posted November 20, 2013 Share Thanks for starting the topic JGR. So I've been struggling to get into training this year. So much has been happening. So... Anyone in the Randburg/Sandton area that is needing to start training from scratch can contact me. I also need some motivation so anyone experienced that feels like helping out with some training tips to get me going, are free to do so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
