Latest from the Muhl
So it’s been a little longer than usual. I’ve just hit the refresh button and taking a while to boot up again. I just felt it was time to clear the mind and the body of everything competitive, everything training and everything triathlon. So I’ve really been surfing and reassessing my life as an athlete. I have still not come to a conclusion just yet, but let’s not get too carried away. I know how you lot can start/spread rumours. (Laughs… laugh with me).
Now I don’t usually post much personal stuff but today I’ll mix it up a little for you.

China Time: World Tri Champs, Beijing
Ready to go for world triathlon champs in Beijing my preparation has been good. There are areas where I could have worked more, but being an age group racer with a full time job, it is difficult.
As lucky as I am to be in a position to be able to afford some of the best equipment and have more time than most, there is a very good reason why there is such a huge gap between the pros and the rest. Pros get time to train, time to rest and time to eat properly. Not to mention being sponsored the majority of equipment required.
Triathlon World Champs 2011 – Beijing, China
After a horrid run at South African National Triathlon Champs I was lucky to make it into the SA team and represent my country in Beijing, China for the World Triathlon Championships. It has been a lifelong dream of mine to represent my country at an international event and now I have the opportunity of doing just that.

TYR Hurricane Category 5 Review
Spoilt by TYR 5 days ago I will now be racing in the TYR Hurricane Category 5 wetsuit. This wetsuit is absolutely amazing. The technology is fantastic and so is the fit.
The tapered neck is a winner. Nice and low, and unlike other suits with low necks, this one actually seals, and very well.
The panel layout is simply genius. Adding bouncy in all the right places and flexibility where you need it most. Sure, part of the plan is to add bouncy but unlike a lot out there, TYR has taken this one step further and has paid attention to body position. By placing certain panels in certain places, and by using a combination of various thicknesses TYR really have developed the perfect wetsuit. TYR have called this clever bit of technology the 360° Core Stabilization System and it goes a little something like this:
BSG Energade Final 2010, Big Bay
Coming into the BSG Energade final at Big Bay on Sunday 5 December I wasn’t feeling exceptionally confident. Having not run for 10 days due to a slight toe injury and using a bike that was not in complete functioning order I was planning on just going out there and having as much fun as possible.
With home ground advantage, 12 degree Atlantic Ocean and a stiff South Easter I was presented with a very average day at the office. For others the conditions were testing and the cold water claimed a few DNFs.
