Barcelona Ironman 2019… biggest IM on the planet

Diana’s prep for this had gone really well, on both the swim and bike (not the run due to calf injury, which Nicky & Ray really helped me with). I had been cycling looooong bikes with Rod, even persuading him out for a couple of six hour rides!…



MEMORIES of KONA 2006 – BACK IN THE DAY!

13 Years later and it is still such a vivid memory, what an experience!

It’s taken all of 13 years for another professional South African female to qualify to race on the big island, 2019 will have not one but two SA Ladies lining up. Wishing Both Annah Watkinson and Jeanni Seymour the best of Luck…



Weekend Roundup

There were some great performances from Dinamic athletes this past weekend ( we are still waiting for official results in some cases and we will post these as we get them ). First up Dinamic Coach Philip Sassie ran the Mercedes Benz 21.1km road race in Germany ( the runners run through and around the…



Dinamic athletes outdoing themselves!

Dinamic athletes outdoing themselves!

In Germany recently, Philip Sassie once again didn’t disappoint when taking on a slightly unorthodox challenge of the Cross Duathlon. Despite focusing on his run with his soon to be Debut Marathon he managed to exceed expectation by securing 5th place overall in serious quality field.



2019 gets off with a bang!

GREAT START TO 2019 FOR SOME DINAMIC ATHLETES. 

At Western Cape Cycling Champs on Saturday Guy Le Ray-Cook was in the lead break going into the sprint finish but a thrown chain saw him have to freewheel through in 5th position, this disappointment was offset when he raced a superb…



DBN 70.3 AND ESCAPE FROM ALCATRAZ

Durban 70.3 is a difficult race for us as Coaches. Athletes often ask what pace what time they should be looking to do, and with Durban it is very difficult to predict. First up is the swim going to happen, what will the conditions in the water be like? The bike course has some challenges…



BOSTON MARATHON 2018 running or swimming…

During training for Boston I had spoken to various friends who had done the race, so I felt well prepared for the course and possible weather conditions. I had taken running kit for a variety of scenarios, but I had certainly not expected to be wearing nearly all of it. The day before the race…



Chasing Points In Tunisia

 

Talking to the coaches and athletes from Italy, and the Netherlands I could not help but focus on the Irony that the Europeans had had a 3 hr trip to come and race an African Continental Cup in Hammet in Tunisia where as Myself and Shanea Williams travelling from Africa had spent almost 30 hours…



Midlands Ultra-Mike Grant

Swim

Nice to do a mass start for a middle distance events again, the WTC rolling starts—while nice—do remove that competitive edge because you don’t really know if you’re beating someone in terms of time. First turn was a right shoulder so I placed myself on the…



Long Course Weekend, Tenby, Wales-Tracy Markham

A race report, for a race like no other. It has now been four days since the end of the Long Course Weekend and I think the fact that I won has actually landed. I had hoped to do well at the event, but winning it was…
