wanderwoman Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Regular entries close tomorrow night (2 April) @ R2500. After that R3500. Who is in? I am in two minds. No course has been published yet.Same here - I can imagine the run course, but would like to see the route first. Missed East London this year; so would like to do a good 70.3. I am just worried that little info = little organisation since I did live through the Challenge Cape Town fiasco.
Oxter Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Regular entries close tomorrow night (2 April) @ R2500. After that R3500. Who is in? I am in two minds. No course has been published yet.Kinda hoped that they would have something up by now. Phoned them a couple of times more than a month ago and every time they promised that something would be up by Friday, a few Fridays have come and gone and no course yet. Don't think i will enter if they do not give some info, just tells me that its not finalised and that anything can change last minute. As a rule i usually don't enter the first off anything, give them time to iron out some wrinkles.

davem Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Thanks for merging the threads. I did search but Multisport not in Events.
@ndy Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 I'm in. I like the sound of flat run and road courses as it will be my first ultra distance.
Rocket-Boy Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 Im up for next years one, it will be that then carry fitness through to 10th EL one and then on to the full.Im super keen.
dracs Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 12 hours to decide or pay R1000 bucks. Can't decide. So, what did you decide? I took the plunge at about 11pm...
dracs Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Can you move this to the Multisport thread, more viewership there. Mods? What he said.

MK Killer Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Sounds very similar to tri rock routes... How TSA can let this happen I don't know.. poor tri rock
Wheelsuck Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 I see the routes are out: http://www.ironman.com/triathlon/events/emea/ironman-70.3/durban/course.aspx#axzz3XGbaKqcl The swim and Bike means squat to me, can anyone shed some light on it? The run is easy to understand-I understand Flat on the Promenade which translated means not at all like IMBC. But the bike has a couple of 180 degree turns and to many off this road to that road stuff. And then how will the swim be?
Dean Lance Tyler Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 Well it's the same cycle and running routes as tri Rock. The run will be very flat and fast and the cycle is a very nice route. It's about 750m gain over the 90kms by my watch from trirock. It's rolling hills but quite fast and easy. The swim is in a good place. We will walk from transition to the start and basically swim back the way we walked to transition
