More like way to much leave available... And he works for one of those companies that just require you to rock up during standard business hours and take your paycheck at the end of the month

 

This was actually my first thought, but I'm trying to keep my grumpy feel-sorry-for-myself work feelings to myself these days...  :whistling:

I know back in the day there was an “Ironman” competition in natal that combined your times for the comrades, midmar mile and the dusi in the same year

We did something similar on the same day.... Been thinking of putting another on on again this year. 

 

Ping me if you're keen.

 

Think Noordhoed to Hout Bay swim, Peninsula road/gravel ride of 150km ish and then a 40km trail run topping out at Maclears beacon.

 

Can have the transition zones in Hout Bay so you only need a lift to the start......

Why play around. What about 

Munga MTB and Munga Trail in 1 year. Just know of 1 that did it sofar

 

This should be alot more difficult.

In the same year, has any person been able to complete all 3 of these events?

 I stand to be corrected but think the ex-springbok rugby player, Marius Hurter, did this.

Peninsula triathlon

 

Argus

2 oceans

Berg

 

Elapsed time over all is the winner. Gets about 5 qualifiers a year

Never even thought about the Epic, but I've done the other two (Durbs IM), plus Oceans, plus a couple of standard tri's and marathons in 1 year. 

 

Trouble is it was all 30 odd years ago, so I'm not sure if I'm making this up :devil:

A friend of mine has completed every single Munga so far... Both cycle and run - 5 in a row.... She should have won the first Munga trail run if not for the organisers giving Benni a lift..  :ph34r:

 

On top of that she has completed AR world champs, other 100milers etc all in the same year.

 

Doing lots of events in a year really isn't as difficult as most people make it out to be.

 

I covered over 1500km of on foot/cycling/paddling in 3 races in 2018.

Say whaaaaaat?!

He went off course quite close to the end.... If you look at his tracker he went off course for a few km down a hill... One of the organisers pulled up, told him to jump in, drove him back up the hill to his point of entry and he went on to overtake Nicky.

 

I know a few people who are more than a little peeved by this
