 The five Cape Region national parks – Agulhas, Bontebok, Table Mountain, Tankwa Karoo and West Coast – are ideal if you want to get closer to nature without being too far from the Mother City. During May, June and July the parks are offering a 20% discount on accommodation and camping (terms and conditions apply). [...]  Another triathlon on my to-do list is the Jailbreak Triathlon. The website has not been updated for 2012 yet, but the date has been announced for 9 December 2012. This popular triathlon is held annually at Brandvlei Dam, Worcester. [...] The local triathlon calendar is not only very sparse, but it is not well advertised either. I am really battling to find the info I need to plan and prepare. The Clanwilliam Triathlon is one of the races that I have heard much about, yet there is no up-to-date information for 2012′s event. [...]  The inaugural Durbanville Triathlon took place at Phisantekraal in Durbanville. I woke up early on the Saturday morning to a dark, rainy Newlands. I had promised myself I would bunk if it was going to be wet and cold, but then couldn’t seem to prevent myself from going “just in case it cleared”. [...]  Plumstead Triathlon Club is hosting its third annual triathlon at Long Beach, Simon’s Town on Sunday, 27 May 2012. 600m swim, 30km bike, 6km run. [...]  Mentally, however, I found myself in an incredibly difficult head-space after some personal disappointments this year that I have been battling to deal with. I was expecting a long conversation with myself on race day, or rather the continuation of a conversation that had started some time ago. But I also expected to be leaving a lot of stuff out there on the course; something had me convinced that this was the event that would see me leaving some demons strewn along the course, with me emerging less encumbered, stronger for the experience. Thiswas the ritual I have been searching for. I knew that this IronMan, for me, would be raced entirely in my head. [...]  I first read about this rescue on Lion’s Head via the Climb ZA website. I think this is pretty cool and it must be pretty exciting to witness a rescue like this! The incident took place on 9 April 2012. [...]  I have the Garmin ANT Agent in the start-up of my PC and laptop. I have noticed a number of issues that although not critical, are quite annoying. Let’s hope this software upgrade tidies up these small glitches! [...]  I installed a set of Shimano 105 SPD SL Pedals on my Scott Addict R3 road bike to pair up with my Specialized Trivent shoes. [...]  I shot up to a predictably sunny, breezy Langebaan on Saturday morning, 31 March to take part in the Around the Island Swim 2012. This brilliant open water swim takes competitors clockwise around Schaapen Island in Langebaan Lagoon. [...] |
