Summary: IM South Africa...Must do it
Comments: All round a fantastic race. Swim could be tough depending on the winds, which can whip up some wicked currents and swell.
3 loop Bike course takes you along the shoreline with stunning views. The run is almost flat. The local crowds come out in thousands to urge your tiring body on.
Organizers put a full package on leading up to IM day, including a Corporate IM challange on the Thursday , which is a tenth of the IM distance.
All in all a fantastic event....You gotta DO IT.
