Its been a while!

After Namibia, I headed to Bokland for a training stint and do a couple of Energade Triathlons-sprint series in South Africa. My base was in Pretoria, near the high performance centre. Thanks to my good friend, Lexi (and her digs mates!), for putting me up.

I was fortunate to land myself with the Nestle Purelife team for the two Energade races I would be in South Africa for. The first of these, held in Germiston, went well from the start, with me exiting the water with Sander Berk of the Netherlands- a consistently high placed World Cup finisher. After asmall pack of us remained away for the bike, it was down to the run, where finished 3rd- getting somewhere!

It was then a week of solid training with the next ITU African Cup in Zimbabwe 2 weeks away. The next Energade race in Midmar, Natal, was the weekend endeth solid training, however, I thought the slight drop in altitude would compensate the tired legs..not! I was tired from get go and managed first pack in the swim, bike and finished 6th by the end of the race.
