How we multi: Abu Dhabi International Tri, surfskis and death wishes

Deon Braun is heading east in March for the Abu Dhabi International Tri (12 March).

"It has a 200km bike in it, so I'm starting to crank up some long steady miles. It's a little late for major distance in the legs but I have muscle memory from nearly 10 years of road cycling in my thirties," is all he's prepared to say.

He's scared, we can smell it! And now he thinks surfski paddling will help him. What a multisport kluts! Or is there method in his madness?

How we multi: Mile Mania

Hugh Pines is heading up the road to Howick for the Midmar Mile on 12 and 13 Feb and he is forging on with his swim training. "Covering the mile (1.6km) is equivalent to 32 lengths of our local pool. I haven't reached that in one session yet but I'm getting there." He's also scared but we can't smell it yet.

Below are a couple of tips to help you prepare for your next open water event:

Get kit comfortable: Don't try a new pair of goggles for the first time at the race. Train with them for at least a couple of weeks leading up to the event.

High elbow recovery: Even dams can have small waves and chop. Practice getting your elbows high enough above the water on your recovery swim stroke.

He hasn't neglected his running though, trying to get at least three runs in a week. On Friday he is hitting the trails in the Umhlanga Lagoon Nature Reserve.

If you are doing the Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cycle Tour, our Jan/Feb issue includes bunch riding tips from Nic White to sharpen your skills in this vital aspect of road riding. It could save you minutes and ensure a safe armchair ride to the finish. Have a great ride!

Have you ever wondered: Why multisport events usually finish with a run?

It's simple. A finish on the bike would be dangerous because of sprinting and would also create problems with timing. A swim finish is even more dangerous because of hypothermia where fatigued athletes would enter cooler water. Swimming is arguably the toughest leg so there is also the risk of drownings because of fatigue.
