Soul riding

Created on 17 April 2008 Conrad

One of the many great things I got to do while in PE for Ironman was exploring the South Africa East coast by mountain bike. Actually it was training, (1h30 ride with 8x20second sprints) but I played with the location a bit and what came out was this amazing ride from Schoenmaakerskop to Sardinia Bay.

These kind of training sessions don’t come very often, but they provide me with the soul food I need for a long season’s racing, training, traveling and getting visas.

This is why I love my job…

Ironman South Africa 2008

Created on 15 April 2008 Conrad

Its late tuesday night, and Amber and I just got back from Ironman South Africa. What a race. What a weekend. What great friends we made.

Amber PRed her swim, bike and run. 13th woman out the swim, she rode the 2nd fastest split, and was off the bike 3rd woman overall, finished 8th and won the ladies age group overall. Thats a long sentence and a great performance. Considering she only took up sports 4 years ago.

Go read the whole story on web.mac.com/AmberMonforte.

More about the rest of the trip once I catch up on sleep, training, massage, healthy groceries, humongous laundry, sea salt-off-bike-wash.

Oh yes, I race XTERRA South Africa this saturday. XterraSA.com.

Visit my again in a day or two…
