Ok, we expect photos every 10km.

Yeah right!  I think you might have to wait 10 hours for the next one!

Just spoke to BMC fan and he's cooking da pasta and it is pretty dry (the weather, not the pasta!).  Cleared up nicely and the guys are doing really well.  No photos though...

Jaco Rheeder and Heimer Andersen won it again in 10:06.  Second was Charl Keett and Raynard van der Hoven, 6 minutes behind (also tri-athletes).  Third was last year's winners and in 9th Raynard Tissink, the Iron Man champion, in a first MTB race for him.  His partner, Louis de Villiers phoned him last Monday as he lost his partner - I think quite a decent result for a first MTB race.

Weather was not as good as last year, with headwind all the way.  The new finish is also slower than previously.
