Hey IronMan. Is that "IronMan" as in 3,8km swim, 180km bike, 42km run, or as in the 4x4 stuff? If it is the former we may have passed eachother in a daze of exhaustion in PE last weekend.

He he... Yes Andrew... that's the one 
Haven't done an IronMan the last 2 years due to time constraints; takes a LOT of time to train and coming from where I used to race profesionaly many moons ago I only go for broke, which is for the working class not always possible
Training for Comrades this year.. but even that seems VERY far suddenly 
So keep on training and maybe I'll join you next year

Do I see a G4 challenge lurking here?
Is Tata not bringing in camels, donkeys or (african, not midget indian) elephants?
You can run, swing, swim and cycle.
I'd rather drive.

Alwyn, I am just peparing myself in case you send me into another blind ending quad bike trail that scratches the sh t out of my D3. I may have to run for help next time. Find some Hummer dudes -not!!!

The 18+ Hummers all were (no choice) running for help.
"Embedded" in the dunes...

IronMan. Hey nothing like your times that's for sure, but as a "non-pro" athlete I was chuffed with my 11hrs 27mins.
I had a good swim of 59mins. The bike was OK at 5hrs 48mins. As you know the race starts in the last half of the marathon. I was on track for a sub-11hr race but vicious cramp reigned me in. I was forced to run/walk the last 10km which seriously slowed me down. Hey it was my first Ironman and was a great experience so I was really happy.
