IceCreamMan Posted May 27, 2016 Share Cool, you can look out for me.. will probably be in a black and yellow skins suit on a black and white Orbea tri bike Also tweaked a hamstring on my Wednesday run, will see how it feels on my run on Sunday... still a few weeks to recover Will swim in a budgie smuggler in < 30 group, Cervelo S3 road bike on cycle...walk the run was aiming for a sub 6 and hope this injury does not jeopardise that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garfield2010 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Wetsuits have a shelf life afaik of around 4 years anyway. So if you comfortable using it in the pool to build confidence etc just use it and rinse it afterwards, don't stress too much. If you run, we wear away our tekkies which are way more expensive over a 4 year period than wetsuits, we ride our bicycles the cost of tyres, chains etc is way more than wetsuits so don't worry too much of using it in a pool. Just do it although ppl may look at you funny I have heard that your wetsuit lasts longer if you soak it in pilchard blood before every ocean swim IceCreamMan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingalton Posted May 31, 2016 Share I will be going into this race extremely under trained.. just going to try wing the swim, wont get time for more than 2 or 3 swims to prepare.. Bike should be ok and the run will depend on the bike I think.. Need to exercise some willpower to take it easy, but I don't have much of that when we hit the start line....

Having looked at Durban's 2015 times, I was also hoping for a really good time, but between lack of motivation, work, getting sick, winter, etc my training has not gone to plan. I have decided to just go as hard as my body allows and take whatever time I get. One lesson I have learned this year is to not schedule any A-races after Ironman.

travisza Posted June 10, 2016 Share Ok so I did something I shouldn't have....checked Sunday's weather...going to be windy!winter in DBN....was always a great chance of riding back into a massive headwind. At least the way out should be fast. Run will also be tough in the wind, but it is what it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
