Cordwalles Mudman Results
Mar 29th
The Aquelle Cordwalles Mudman took place at Midmar Dam this past weekend and despite the rain falling during the night the participants were not put off – true MUDman spirit!! The event was a great success attracting 1408 entries, which is a little creepy to me and maybe you too if you’ve seen the horror movie ’1408′. On the racing side of things, the usual stars Tyronne White, Justin Porteous, Daniel Carleton, J.P. van der Linder and also the new face to Mudman Gareth Harrington, who has been injured up to now, all made their ways to the start line. K-Swiss athletes Henri Schoeman and Glen Gore, who are both well known in the road triathlon scene, also decided to come out, making this Mudman a much more competitive field than the previous two Mudmans this year. For me, unfortunately my knee injury has meant I can’t run and ride at the moment but instead of missing out I managed to get a team together with brothers Evan and Elmo van der Spuy making sure we didn’t miss out on the fun!

In the individuals, Tyronne ended up coming out on top just ahead of Justin. Not far behind was another close match up between Daniel and Gareth who is going to be one to watch for as he gets stronger and stronger after his injury. Our team had a great day out leading the team event from start to finish crossing the line about a minute ahead of Tyronne (about time a team won the event overall!).
The sad news coming out of the event was hearing about Henri Schoemans crash on the MTB leg. Latest update from him:
wow thank u everyone for the messages:) surgery went great! shattered my collar bone into 4 pieces but all pinned up now and feeling good!
Besides the collar bone he also fractured his elbow and shoulder. Great to see he’s still in good spirits and hopefully he’ll have a speedy recovery and be back into races soon!
"Team Jeep" soon to be engraved. Awesome floating trophy!
So that’s all for now. Don’t forget about the last Mudman of the year at Thornlea Dam, which will be hosted by DPHS on 17 April. For more details check out the Mudman site: www.mudman.co.za.
See you all there!

Ergofit bike set up
Mar 2nd
I just got helped with my bike set up thanks to Gareth Harrington using the Ergofit bike set up system. The best way to explain Ergofit is to simply quote from their site which states the following:
Ergofit is a scientifically developed cycle fitting product.
Unlike other products which use static measurements of body proportions, Ergofit incorporates dynamic values such as flexibility and neuromuscular efficiency to accurately predict optimal bike fit.
Ergofit has been developed by using advanced regression algorithms to evaluate which factors influence bike fit. Through these techniques, we can predict measurements such as saddle height with extreme accuracy, developing high correlation co-efficients for biological systems.
Taking static measurements (just before dynamic measurements)
It was interesting for me to note some small changes that needed to be made. For more information and how to book an appointment with Gareth, drop him an email at gharrington
