IM703DBN Survey - Winter Solstice – Knysna Big 5 Entries for a steal!

 

Seems like it wasn’t a good weekend for Ironman swims.  Both Ironman 70.3 Durban and Luxembourg swims were cancelled, due to rough seas and a flooding river, respectively.  And, by all accounts a, good call.   This didn’t hamper the enthusiasm of participants and ATC’ers delivered some brilliant performances, including top age grouper performances under the males and ladies!  If you did the event, please complete our quick survey.  It is very short but you can elaborate as much as you like:

This feedback, along with our Members’ results will be published next week, in our monthly newsletter.

 

Tomorrow (Tuesday) is the Winter Solstice.  Please join us for the Waterfront Maritime Winter Solstice plunge tomorrow afternoon at 17:30, from the same place that we start our weekly Canal Swim.

 

On Saturday we will also take part in the traditional Winter Solstice Polar Bear Swim at Clifton 4^th.  Details of both swims are on our Events page.

 

 

SWIM:  The canal swim will be on Saturday afternoon at 16:00. 

 

BIKE:  On Thursday mornings we will do a Road Bike Ride from the Point Virgin Active at 06:00.  Out towards Hout Bay and back.  Please bring a proper bike light.

On Sunday we will do a long ride from Point Virgin Active at 07:30.  We will ride for 4 Hours, approximately 100 Kilometres.

 

RUN:  Track will be tomorrow (Tuesday) morning at 06:00 (Remember your head lamp if it is raining) and on Wednesday evening at 18:00.

 

On Saturday we will do trail / tar run from Clifton 4^th beach at 07:30.  We will run up the Glen and along the pipe track and return the same way.  The run will be approximately two hours and we will be back in time to join the Polar Bear Swim.

On Sunday, the WPCA Winter League event is a Circuit race on the Killarney race track.

 

Two Trail runs are happening on Sunday; the Dirtopia Mid-Year Trail Run, at Muratie in Stellenbosch; and the Lourensford Market Trail Run.

 

Since ATC has so many entrants for this year’s Big 5 Challenge and Big 5 Lite, taking place during the first week of July, organisers have given us two complimentary entries!  We will pass these on to ATC Members for a R1300 donation towards our Development Fund.  If you would like to take part please let us know how you will assist ATC in bringing home the Big 5 Club Champ Trophy!  Please submit your challenge on Social Media (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram), by tagging ATC Multisport, The Big 5 Sports Challenge and Worldsport.
