Five out of five.

Today we were battling things out again as the series moved to Blouberg Strand in Cape Town. This was the first surf swim of the series, which off course made swimming a bit tougher today. Nonetheless we were a group of eight athletes on the bike we were going to fight things out on the flat and fast run course.

Claude and Hendrik are definitely improving as the races tick by, and both of them pulled out some good runs today, finishing in 2nd and 3rd respectively. I managed to grab my fifth win. Verry happy!

Well done to everyone for some great racing today.

Next week we head down to PE for race number six.

Germiston time……

The racing happened at a very windy Germiston lake today.I was feeling very confident going into this race today, as my running form seems to be great at the moment.

A change of rules to last year, meant that I would be crowned series champion should I win again today, so off course I wanted this one really bad.

As with all the previous races, I had a good swim, managed a very comfortable 20km bike, and then opened the taps on the final 5km run. It worked out again today, and I managed to grab another win, but most importantly also walked away with the 2009 Series Title.

Next week its time for the African Cup event in Pretoria.

Another win in Pretoria.

I can’t be happier today, as I managed to grab my third win three races. Everything went according to plan today. I had a pretty good swim, easy bike ride and then just pulled away on the run for a comfortable win.

Well done to the rest of the boys for some great racing.

Next up: Germiston

2 out of 2…….

Got my second win of the series in my new hometown today.

Potchefstroom was buzzing with hundreds of avid athletes all wanting their share of the action. Up front the racing was on and the Nestle and BSG boys were battling it out once again.

I got out the water up front again and managed to stay out of trouble on the bike leg. I had to win in on the run again today, but can’t be happier with how things went. I can definitely feel I’m getting stronger in every race, so looking forward to the rest of them.

Next weekend its off to Pretoria for race 3.
