Unreal mate. 70.3 on my list of things to do next year.

Aye, thats obscene. The elevation doesn't bother me, it's the steepness, i have to get off and push.

Lakesman is an excellent event. Doing it again this year

Did full lakesman last year and doing half this year with sun city. It's a good event, close to home, nice location and good atmosphere. Gonna do some drinking after the race this year

 

[D.A]

Wasn't my fastest race but i finished third in my age group at the Lakesman Iron distance triathlon on Sunday. Got a canny trophy.

Is there much of a slow age group contingent or is it all proper fast people?

Think it’s mixed mate , new beginners also , diff races as far as know . Dan will tell better .
Would love to try summit like this but recently broke ankle and tore ligaments in ankle calf and back from a fall , sick as. If find can ever run again then will try a new starters myself.
Sign up mate and do it , Dan will give you advice as he’s top lad and walks the walk

 

[The Butcher]

Bloody hell @Fletch how you do that? Hope it heals quick.

A mix of all ability, it's just another triathlon but with the option to qualify for the age group.
