Is anyone doing the Xterra in Grabouw this year? I am planning to train on the bike course every weekend so if anyone of any ability wants to join me please let me know.

 

I'm doing the light - purely because of swimming distance. Just started swimming and... it's not as if you can have a rest. So at this stage it's still a maybe, but hoping to be fine by that time.

Hey SeaBee, goodluck. Why not do the Cape Mile Swim the week before the Xterra. It would be a good practice for you in the dark water?

I've moved away from sleeveless to sleeves, only because I lost my guns...  :ph34r:

 

Orca every time, because I like the brand - silly reason I know. I think they're around R3k, which isn't cheap, but they're just so damn comfortable.

 

If you come through to Joburg, Troisport is awesome, has a bunch of brands, Orca concept store in Rivonia has some sexy goodies too.

Sleeve/Sleeveless depends on race distance and whether you burn?

 

In general

Sprint/Olympic/70.3 - sleeveless

140.6 - sleeves 

 

But depends on your own preference as have seen sleeved for 70.3's and sleeveless for 140.6
