Stellenbosch, South Africa has been a hive of triathlon activity for several national and international triathletes this summer. This beautiful town in the winelands of the Western Cape has become a training destination of choice for triathetes from all over the world.This week Javier Gomez (ESP), Tim Don (GB), Rici Lisk (GER), Richy Nicholls (GB), Erhard Wolfaardt (RSA) and Vicky Van Der Merwe (RSA) all lined up for a popular 10km night race in Stellenbosch, South Africa and did the triathletes proud. Javier recorded an excellent sub 30 minute performance to take overall third place with Tim Don not too far behind. Erhard was on a mission to record a good 5km time for the first half of the run and did just that with a sub 15 minute run showing the form he needs going into African Champs next week. Rici Lisk of Germany won the women's race in a fine 35 minute run and young Vicky Van der Merwe (still a junior) took overall 4th place in her first ever 10km run in a time of just over 37 minutes.
