Chris_ Posted January 11, 2019 Share 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...

Jewbacca Posted January 12, 2019 Share I'd love to do CT cycle tour, two oceans and a Robben Island swim in the same year. 'the Cape Town triathlon' The swim thing though...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...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finallygotabike Posted January 16, 2019 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyYou Posted January 16, 2019 Share In the same year, has any person been able to complete all 3 of these events? 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewbacca Posted January 17, 2019 Share 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. 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.. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewbacca Posted January 17, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
