Pic2: The UK’s @tri_thedon had some bad luck, a contender in the lead group until the 160km mark where a bike mechanical forced him to retire. . .

PUMPED ON THE START LINE - from @imsouthafrica . . The female pro’s started 5mins after their male counterparts, giving them time to see the conditions as the guys battled over the first few wave breaks. Not sure if that settled the nerves or made them more anxious, either way, each athlete deals with the pre race tension in their own way. . . Pic1: I wonder what @lucycharles93 laughing at? 😄 . . Pic2: Smiles for Germany’s @anja_ippach . . Pic3: Always fun in the company of @ashkickn1 .. with @lucycharles93 and local favorite @annahb247 . . Pic4: Pro debut for Holland’s @tesskortekaas . .

PUMPED ON THE START LINE - from @imsouthafrica . . With choppy waters and a shortened swim course (3.8km to 1.6km) it made the 6.30am swim start for the male pro’s that little bit more edgy. .
