Ironman weekend in Port Elizabeth

 

It is Ironman weekend in Port Elizabeth and the buzz outside my office at the Boardwalk has been awesome over the last two days.  Tomorrow the day kicks off with the Corporate Challenge (or Corporate Ironman as everybody but the organisers like to call it) followed by Ironkids.  With Drama Princess taking part in the latter I will be down on the beachfront with my camera so look out for pictures on that in the coming week.  On Sunday morning its the big race with Ironman African Championship taking place with 2000 competitors tackling the 3,8km swim, 180 km cycle and 42,2 km run.  It is going to be epic.

 

 

I know I posted this stunning Ironman African Championship video a couple of months ago but I'm sure you won't mind it if I share it with you again.  Below are the new Ironman African Championship - Witness the impossible video as well as a SABC news item from this morning.
