Shaunie_g Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 Don't know about the new course but the old bike course was like a slow poison especially if the easterly wind blows.Praying for no wind or a light west to push us home
shaper Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 Enjoy your taper guys!!.... with you in spirit this year!!
ScottCM Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 Praying for no wind or a light west to push us home Not that they are accurate enough to believe but Accuweather predict a WSW 24km/h with Gust of 43km/h. I Will rather wait to see what Windguru say at the end of the week.

I have a number of mates doing it this year so will be keeping track of them and you,guys from the hub. Will also be streaming it via the website if they still do that, hope so as I have cut a holiday short to be on my couch on the Sunday morning. Good luck guys, it’s all going to be worth it. While I have severe FOMO I have to be honest and say I am in no shape for it this year. Maybe next year again or 2021 with my son if he is still keen
shaper Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 Small, Medium and Micro Enterprises contractors in Nelson Mandela Bay have threatened to stop the 2019 Standard Bank Ironman South Africa event on April 7th if their members do not get 30% percent of the contracts. https://www.algoafm.co.za/article/local/99677/smmes-threaten-to-bring-ironman-2019-to-a-halt-

shaper Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 Wonder what the hotels, B&B's, Restaurants and other beneficiaries will say about it. IMSA is a big boost to the economy of PE and all being put in jeopardy by a few small thugs !!
Chris_ Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 Unfortunately the article says they - the SMME chaps, were 'promised' work after last year. So I reckon they have a fair argument. Unfortunately we have not yet learnt how to negotiate like civil humans. Lying to SMME people, and similarly breaking things down is not a way for either side to win. Its also just embarrassing.
gummibear Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 #IronmanSA Not a single contractor on site at the Port Elizabeth beachfront where scaffolding is supposed to be erected for the 7 April event. SMME's have threatened to stop the event unless they get 30% of the contracts.
SEANSTEP Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 Just to add my name to the list of Hubbers doing IM. Number 1618. Hope it's not a moot point after reading the latest posts.
IceCreamMan Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 IM set up in a matter of days. No need for any construction just yet. It will happen. Can’t afford it not to. Is this linked to the worlds last year by any chance?

Is this linked to the worlds last year by any chance?One of the few events left that brings in loads of cash for PE. These thugs don’t give a [emoji90] about what happens.Just about the money for them.Heard stories of a mafia like group that have been extorting money out of contractors in the Bay region. My worry is that they sabotage the event [emoji15][emoji2959]
