Did this one last year in June and can definitely recommend it. Would have loved to do it again this year but now it's a week before Argus. :( :thumbdown:

Definately considering it. Good prep for the SASOL series staring 18 March.

is the Argus not just a funride? Rather do the duathlon. Final wake up call to the legs for the fun ride!

I have to agree Heman, surely this event will only serve as a lekker warm up for the Argus? It is not that hectic? 2 hours of racing at the most??

Same here - was my first duathlon last yr and I loved it - really grumpy about the timing of this years... Will give the offroad one in waterfall a bash later in the yr...

thnx, wonder when the CT one opens entries. Very close to the IM, they are going to lose out on a couple of entries on that side.
