My son decided on the spur of the moment to do the Ironman 70.3 in Mossel Bay. Without practising too much, he took part and did very well, much better than expected. Now he was well and truly bitten by the bug and decided to start training for the Ironman 140.6. This involves swimming 3.9 […]

Read moreTalk is easy. Advice comes quickly. It’s easy to comment when you’re sitting in the stands, but when you’re involved in the game yourself, it’s not always so easy to follow your own advice.
