Torpedo SwimRun Posted October 26, 2017 Share according to the website it adds up to 3km of swimming and 13km of running...looks pretty cool though There are 6 swims and 6 runs that make up the 16km. It's run onto swim onto run, and so on. The total of the 6 swims = 3km.The total of the 6 runs = 13km. Here is the route: You do it in teams of 2. There is also no transition, you swim in your running shoes and run in your wetsuit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_ Posted October 31, 2017 Share Does anyone here do the tinman durban triathlons?and also the miway ultra durban edition?if you do what was your experience of the race on sunday?did yu have to change your race plan? I've only ever done one Tinman (2 years ago maybe), and it was my first tri. We drove down from joburg specially for the swim because we were so terrified of the ocean swim in the Ironman 70.3 in Durbs we'd signed up for later that year. First ocean swim, first time in wetsuit, first time swimming with people climbing on top of me.. Also, the first time we heard of draft legal and non draft races too. I still had my road bike so I was good, my mate had a tri bike so he sat and watched as I did the ride, then we both hit the run. I can't remember anything about the actual race nor organisation but it sure was a learning experience. Miway Durbs this year was one of the best outings I've ever had. The ocean was so clear we could see the bottom. The organisation is awesome, the run was roasting hot but they just about managed to keep up with water supplies, taking it easy on the run was the only conscious decision I had to make (on changing a race plan) because of the heat The only problem was local families not giving a $%& on the run route with kids and toys and humans scattered on the running path.

EmJayZA Posted November 6, 2017 Share Looks interesting. What shoes are the participants wearing? And isn't there good potential to overheat in those wetsuits on the run portions? http://torpedoswimrun.com/ A two person team race where teams swim and run together from start to finishacross Cape Town’s most iconic beaches and bays. World-famous sites like Llandudno, Oudekraal, Camps Bay and Clifton form part of the 16km route. There are 6 swim segments (totalling 3km) and 6 run segments (totalling 13km). Wetsuits and running shoes are kept on for the duration of the event as there are no transition zones; you simply get out of the water and run – until the next swim leg.

TheBritishTwit Posted November 9, 2017 Share Hi Everyone. So the end of December, I'll be going to East London for holiday and want to know if there are any swimming groups i could possibly join to get my first ocean swim under me? Also with East London beaches being one of the highest with shark attacks, should i be concerned with being confused with a seal? Will be in Gonubie for the stay.
