EGO: Are you experienced, internationally speaking?

Raced overseas before? 
We would like to know whether you have travelled out of South Africa's borders to take part in any one of the sports that we cover. This 10 question survey will enable you to let us know about the amazing international events and locations you have been to. 


A pro triathlete's training day:
One of the best female triathletes of all time, Australia's Michellie Jones runs you through a training day in this video as she prepares for the 2011 season. The Aussie star is a two-times ITU World Champion and won the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii in 2006.

In our latest issue (Mar/Apr) you will find a feature on Reunion's Grand Raid - Diagonal of Fools, one of the toughest trail runs in the world. You'll also learn how to get your optimal tri-bar position, learn how to ace Ironman transition, see all the latest road and trail running shoes in our 2011 Shoe Guide, and get a comical inside look at the Totalsports Challenge. There is also a chance to win one of 10 pairs of Hi-Tec's new V-Lite Infinity trail shoes worth R1,099 when you subscribe for one or two years.
