Huge thanks to Brenden and the whole team at KKE Bikes 🙌 Ahead of the Garden Route Triathlon they gave my bike a complimentary service. Now, with Mossel Bay Ironman on 22 November around the corner, they've done it again — a full free service to make sure I'm race-ready. The support and professionalism from this team is something special. Thank you, KKE Bikes. 🚴‍♂️

If you really want to do it, you do it. There are no excuses.

Swim: easy recovery

A morning swim at Santos Beach is an excellent way to start the day. Because the beach is naturally north-facing and well-protected, it is widely considered the best and safest spot for open-water swimming in the area

Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.
