RABUBI Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 Pity there is no Duathlon option. I grew up on a farm in the 80's, due the severe drought we never saw water deeper than ankle deep, so never learned to swim
MTBc Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 Only done 1 tri - this one, and definitely doing it again! Can't wait.
Andrew Steer Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 Only done 1 tri - this one, and definitely doing it again! Can't wait.I love this event, but just went to enter... R600 + R80 for a day license What a pity MTBc 1
MTBc Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 (edited) I love this event, but just went to enter... R600 + R80 for a day license What a pity Oi vey! Never noticed that, it is a bit XTreme. Could do a 2 day Magalies Adventure with 2 x lunches and beer at that price. might give it a skip then. what is BS is the fact that you pay R20 (+ R400) for a TSA day license for the lite and R80 for a day license for the full. Seriously? *edit* event info page says "R80" so maybe a glitch that you only have to pay R20 on the lite until fixed Edited November 27, 2014 by MTBc Andrew Steer 1
Vinnydabutcher Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 Really love this event. I love to be able to eat more. Is it silly season already? b-unit 1
Mr Winter Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 This will be my first Xterra full really looking forward to it. What is a good time to aim for, I was thinking that 3h30 would be a pretty decent time.

MK Killer Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 This is a proper event - although pricey I believe it is well worth it. Unbelievable administration, incredible mountain biking and torturous run...
herrowpreeze Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 does anyone have a link to enter?my google skills are amazing http://www.stillwatersports.com/event/totalsports-xterra-buffelspoort/ MTBc 1
Cycling Addict Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Any previous participants who did the full know how much ascent there is in the run and bike? MTBc 1
Swim.Bike.Run Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 Any previous participants who did the full know how much ascent there is in the run and bike?Plenty steep!
MK Killer Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 Plenty steep! Yip - plenty climbing, especially on the run... although I read somewhere un route changed MTBc 1
BottelaryHillBuddy Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 Hi I would like to know why did they cancel the Total sports challenge. RegardsA Lucas
MTBc Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Any previous participants who did the full know how much ascent there is in the run and bike? The ride: http://www.strava.com/activities/109153241530m elevation gain over 30km The run: http://www.strava.com/activities/110980742That climb is a proper killer. I walked it with my HR over 90%. take it easy on the swim and ride, you'll need it for the run.
