Ironman 2019 - PE

[_David_]

Might as well start this...

 

Booked my accommodation this morning and I see that most of the reasonably priced self-catering spots close to the start are already fully booked for next year.

 

Anyone stayed at Blue Bay B&B before?

Good luck all. Enjoy the training. I will be streaming it while lying on my beloved couch chomping crisps an drinking beer. Will have FOMO though.

Did not take long to get the thread up and running!!

 

Some social media guilt tripping for those (me included) not doing it next year

How is the garden court kings beach? close to where I must be?

Everything happens at the Boardwalk which can be your point of reference.  Registration and Expo there, Race transition / finish opposite on the sea front.

 

If you can get close and within walking distance, makes everything easier

[Carmichael]

I see they are 1km apart! cool. Boardwalk way too expensive for me and my fam

Great position along the beachfront and closer to a few restaurant options as well,  Best of all is Wayne Pheiffer cycles has opened up a workshop, with great coffee in the basement shopping complex of the hotel.

I'm in.

Humewood is booked.

 

Going to be doing Durban 70.3 then will cut right back until August and then ramp up the training

What is a nice-value for money place just for me to stay at-prefer self catering or at least a small kitchen. Any recommendations will be appreciated

[ScottCM]

Flights books and paid for 

Accomodation Booked

 

See you on the beach in April Ladies and Gents

[Wil6]

I see you can get the "Race Ready Package" which includes the 2019 Standard Bank IRONMAN 70.3 South Africa and 2019 Standard Bank IRONMAN African Championship.

 

Can you choose a 70.3 race or is it a specific one?

I think the combo deal is EL and PE.

Ironman 70.3 South Africa = East London

 

Would be great if they packaged Durban into that as well

I would suggest Millard Crescent, stayed there twice, about 2.5kms to the start.

Also has braai and kitchen area. 

Highly recommended!

40 weeks to go... might as well get back on the horse.
