Kona

you can enter on the day however due to the popularity of the series it could be that the entries are sold out before race day, so i would suggest entering online to be safe.

I was hoping to do this race but it is 145km from my house in PTA east. Such a shame. I was looking forward to it, but I dont think its worth traveling almost 300km. For those lucky enough -> Have a blast!!

guys please remember that if you don't have a TSA license you have to purchase a day license on the day for R30.00 :(

Hey

Also had a great time. After that swim I'm very nervous for Xterra!

Noticed lots of photographers. Where can we find the pictures and when will the footage be aired?

Rob you can get the pics from http://www.od-event-...ographers.co.za

rob the current was pretty strong after the turn so dont read too much into it, it was a hard swim for most of us.

Hi guys, getting close to the Buffelspoort one now. :clap:
Does anybody know how tough the route (MTB/Run) is compared to Xterra lite?

If it is the same as the previous then it is nothing like Xterra, mostly secondary roads.

Last years Buffels race was a blast. Swim was relatively flat.... The MTB course was half single trail and half gravel road (not technical) and the run is single track with a small 400m offroad climb that was quite hectic although the rest was easy.....

If I remember correctly it did rain and one guy fell and broke his arm within the first km of the bike course, but that was only because he was trying to keep up to me something I would not recommend...........

i thought they would have just used the same route as the Xterra.?
