Team K-Swiss will be doing battle down in East London on the 17th January when they compete in the 70.3 SA Half Ironman. Carl, Glen and Anton are looking for some top performances against both strong local and international triathletes.
"This is a huge race for us and one that gets our sponsors International Coverage. With K-Swiss being an international brand, we have no doubts that they will be featured on the tv screens when this race is broadcast to the rest of the world" "December has been a tough month for us with huge mileage and consistent training the order of the day. I have confidence in the boys to deliver when it counts most".
The team will tackle a 1.9km swim, followed by a tought 90km bike leg and then finally, a 21km run. They are wanting to start the year off with a bang, so watch out for the team as they go head-to head against the very best athletes next weekend

TEAM K-SWISS FINISH OFF 2009 IN STYLE
TEAM K-Swiss brought the 2009 season to an end this past weekend at the final of the National Tri-Series.
Team captain Glen Gore, managed to secure the vets title with five out of six wins, to totally dominate the section.
Henri Schoeman, making his debut as a full-time triathlete this season, managed fourth overall in the junior series.
Overall, the team has certainly played a major part in this year's series.
Gore said, "With only four team members, we managed to dominate race proceedings at each and every event, with Henri laying into the swim and leading onto the bike. This exposure was invaluable and all team sponsors have certainly benefitted from it."
Gore also said the team's primary focus was on the longer events, with Ironman 70.3 scheduled for 17 January being it's primary objective.
"Our team is the only team that can compete across all sections, from sprint to Ironman distance. Our season really starts in January and that is where the big international exposure comes into play."
The team also competes in a number of other events as it prepares for the Ironman, including the SA Half Ironman Champs in February in the Vaal, the Midlands Ultra in March and finally the Ironman in PE.
"We'll throw in the KZN Champs and a couple of other filler events. We have a busy start to the new year," added Gore.
