I know ALL about time trailing- as long as its sandwiched between swimming and running. Here is a pic from ITU World Cup 1996? in Bermuda, wearing my favourite outfit and sporting my first free bike.\u00a0 A Sunn, I had to give back to Montpellier Triathlon club in France at the end of the season. Check out the matching purple Carnacs and luscious hair…<\/p>\n

Its the big TT day. I’ve been staring at the ceiling since 5am- the competitive juices are pumping on the double. If it was Xterra I’d still be snoring. This is a new game and I’m really excited. If only we had 2 more weeks at sea level for prep… (thats what athletes always say, but this time its true- fiddled with handlebar position last night, not sure about drinking system and guessing about wattage and pacing)<\/p>\n

I am really lucky to\u00a0 have a whole support team- squatting in and around my homestay (Bernhard Kullins) house. Ian Rodger (coach), Dylan van der Merwe (Specialized Mechanic) , Ben Melt Swanepoel (Specialized gentleman) and Berner himself. (Engineer, chauffeur, braai master, travel agent and training hack)<\/p>\n

I did the homework on the farm, which was not ideal, (no electricity or tar roads) but it made for great blogging and outside of painful intervals, it was quite relaxing.<\/p>\n

1992 World Junior Duathlon Champs in Frankfurt Germany. When the Juniors still raced 10km run, 60km bike, 10km run. They dont make juniors like they used to…<\/p>\n

My start time is at 11.27 (GMT +2).<\/p>\n

1 Minute in front of me is Darren Lill, and behind me are:<\/p>\n

Daryl Impey (Radio Shack)<\/p>\n

Burry Stander (Specialized)<\/p>\n

Jay Thompson (Bissell)<\/p>\n

Reinhard Janse van Rensburg<\/p>\n

James Perry<\/p>\n

Dylan (Specialized mechanic\/PR guy) will be twittering from the chase car. Look out for @ConradStoltz and @Dylanvdm1<\/p>\n

Here is a link to a pre race write up on Cycling SA website<\/a><\/p>\n

The SHIV is ready to rumble, now if only those Zipp wheels my good racing friend\/competitor from high school, Jacques Rossouw (not the Cape Town J R) shipped from Pretoria last night, arrives on time. Shows you the power of twitter. Thanks Jacques! They should be in the depot at 8am.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
