Ice-cube Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Hi, This will be a first for me and I need advise on what expect ? I have done mountain biking before but never a triathlon. Maybe a few pointers might help here....
Wheelsuck Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Hi, This will be a first for me and I need advise on what expect ? I have done mountain biking before but never a triathlon. Maybe a few pointers might help here....So this means you can bike...so: The swim is just something to get through starts on the Vaal, hang back and just follow the guys, take your time and get into a rythm, you wont be able to see anything underwater so get used to that. The TB is fast and rocky in a non technical environment, cannot remember any major hills etc it's just single track in the veld. The run starts off on grass and there is a climb past the rondawels then into the veld again and downhill home. So nothing technical on the bike and run, a very fun event to get into Cross tri....Faceplant puts on lekker events.
Face Plant Posted February 17, 2014 Author Posted February 17, 2014 Ice-Cube if you worried about the swim there is always the duathlon option!! Wheelsuck i hope you doing the event again this year? there is some new sections of singletrack that will blow you away!!
jonnow Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 It's my first of this series. Looking forward to it!
Face Plant Posted February 20, 2014 Author Posted February 20, 2014 just a reminder that Pre entries close tomorrow... line entries available on the day
Shebeen Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 i got a bit excited about this being an Adventure Race.....it's an offroad triathlon, which is adventure for some.
Face Plant Posted February 20, 2014 Author Posted February 20, 2014 there is a new twist to the races Shebeen
Eldron Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 See you guys there! Done a few of these and they are always well organized and good fun. The mtb routes tend to be less technical than traditional mtb races so people new to offroad multi sport should not be intimidated...
Mr Winter Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 This will be my first full distance, competed in the sprints last year will be interesting to see how I fare
corrie.kuilder Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Saw today at emerald casino that they r busy with markings and preperations. It seems like they r going to use the open veld next to the casino for the mtb,as there is an existing singletrack that the NWU vaal mtb guys use for training and Wednesday timetrails.
Dinamic Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Looks good. Quick question will it be sanctioned?
Ice-cube Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Will my son be able to participate seeing that he is only 15.....
Ice-cube Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 That is for the "sprint triathlon".........
Face Plant Posted February 21, 2014 Author Posted February 21, 2014 HI Ice-cube yes your son will be able to compete
