Once Inspired

Well, well; for most it is the final day at the office. And I’m sure all of you think it is completely necessary to be at the office too? (Repeatedly shaking heads from side to side) “No”, you say? I couldn’t agree more. If you’ve all been good children for Santa then you should have finished all your work already.

Well Christmas came a little early for me. As of last week I am now racing for Team Audi. Associate sponsors are New Balance, MSM: Multisport Magazine, Wasp, and Med Sport.

Team Audi is made up of a diverse group of locally talented athletes who train like professionals, yet race as amateurs whilst holding down full time

employment and or studies.

Wane Rossouw who spearheaded the creation of Team Audi says: “Our objective is to popularize the sport of triathlon and duathlon and to be the best brand ambassadors to our partners by encouraging others to participate in the sport.”

Team Audi is a strong team and has seen some impressive results thus far.

“Gilbert Lucas catapulted the team’s reputation as he proved to be an almost unstoppable force in the run-bike-run format of duathlon in which he excels. He won every duathlon in Cape Town, he earned himself a place on the South African team and competed at the World Duathlon Championships this year, finishing 14^th and 1^st South African home.”

Thus far this season there have been some impressive results including several category wins including my own. So far so good.

Here’s to some hard and fast racing. Thanks Team Audi.
