Succesfully defended my African Elite Tri Title
Written by admin on June 26, 2010 – 7:23 pm -
Durban again hosted the 2010 African Elite Triathlon Championships this year.
A new venue with an ocean swim, flat bike and a very twisted run course was set to stage this year’s event.
I had my mind set on defending my title, and was prepared to race hard to do so.
I had a good solid swim, exiting the water securely in the front group consisting of mmyself Sander (Netherlands), Hendrik and Mehdi (
Morocco). On the bike things were going as expected with front four just keeping the pace up, extending our lead on th
e rest of the athletes. Going into the run things looked good as I comfortably ran with Sander for the first 5km. Things started to go a bit wrong by the end of the 2nd lap, but I still finished a respectable 2nd overall and was again crowned African Elite Champion 2010.
Happy with that !!
