The sun peeked through the clouds at the Germiston Lake as athletes prepared for the Standard Bank 5150 Ekurhuleni Triathlon, last Sunday.<\/p>\n
The race was part of the iconic Ironman series, one of the world\u2019s most challenging endurance races, and included a 1 500m swim, 40km cycling route and 10km run.<\/p>
The race was one to remember, with athletes starting off with the swim in slightly windy conditions, which caused choppy waters for the swim, but the wind soon died down and the sun came out in full force as the racers took to the streets for the cycling and running sections of the race.<\/p>\n
Travis Johnston was the first man across the finish line, while Eulali van der Vyver won the women\u2019s race.<\/p>
