On Sunday I took part in the Grading race for the Discovery/Men’s Health Surf Ski Series. It was a great event, and even though I still had remnants of the flu I picked up in Spain, I managed to win the race in 86% of the winning man’s time, giving me the PowerAde Performance Bonus! Here are some links to the articles that went out to the press: http://www.gameplanmedia.co.za/sss/sss0903.html and http://www.gameplanmedia.co.za/sss/sss0901.html  

MultiCoach athlete Craig van Heerden took part in the Grading Race, as part of his build up to the Scottborough to Brighton race later in the year.

This weekend coming is the Molokai Challenge, and MultiSport athlete Ian Parmenter is taking part. All the best Ian!

Straight after the race, Barry Lewin (who hosted me over the weekend-shot Bazzle!) rushed me over to Ushaka where I took part in a really fun event called the South Africa Rugby Legends Associations (SARLA) Challenge, as part of Team Jeep. The Challenge was over 3 days, and the guys got up to lots of fun stuff, like mountain biking, fishing, a cook-off and then the part that I was involved in which was the Surf Challenge. It involved some Sea Kayaking, Stand Up Paddling, Beach Flags and Surfing. Ryk Neethling and some other celebs were there. 

Great fun, and of course even more fun because we won!
