Location: Pollock Beach – Port Elizabeth (Nelson Mandela Bay)

When: Sunday 13 November 2011

The BSG Energade Triathlon Series moves to Port Elizabeth after taking place in Germiston, Midmar, Vanderbijlpark, Potchefstroom and Roodeplaat.

This three discipline,(swimming (600m), cycling (20km) and running (5km)) seven event Series held in major centres around South Africa is for everyone, from South Africa’s Elite triathletes looking for a tough competitive challenge, to experienced triathletes looking for diverse race conditions and trying to beat a personal best, to first-times seeking an enjoyable way to get fit and have fun with other athletes!

And it’s for the whole family, with the kids series and the opportunity to race as a family team.

BSG and Energade, as a team, have brought this popular triathlon series to South
Africa for the past three years. Continually doing things better and smarter is
what BSG and Energade are all about and this year is no exception with even more
exciting innovations in store. We have enhanced the online experience through
the BSG Multisport portal where improvements have been made to the processes
used for online entries as well as the technology that supports this. The venues
selected for the 2011 BSG Energade Triseries and Kids Series will provide
maximum athlete safety, as they have been chosen based on analysis of water
quality levels and road closure facilities. We have redesigned the race schedule
so there is a separate Elite race, multiple start waves to manage participant
numbers in the swim, and have ensured our Kiddies series is better than ever.

The weather today- Monday 7 November is bright and sunny with an expected high of 26 deg. Some clouds this morning will give way to generally sunny skies for the afternoon. Winds NNE around 16 to 35 kmph.

Unfortunately the prediction for Sunday shows a high of around 21 with a 60% chance of showers and wind speeds of up to 55 kmph. But then again our weather is very fickle and who knows it might just do a turn for the better and greater enjoyment of the athletes!

We wish all contestants well!

The 24th September is celebrated as Heritage Day and is also our National Braai Day so I thought I would share this divine quick and easy bread recipe with you.

Invite your friends over and wow them with this “I made it myself” bread.

Enjoy!

Onion Soda Bread

Ingredients
1 1/4 Cup Plain White Bread flour
3/4 Cup Brown Bread Flour
2 teaspoons Bicarbonate of Soda
+- 300ml Buttermilk (you have to check as you are adding how much you need)
2 mini Onion Stock Cubes , crushed
1 Teaspoon Salt

Directions
Mix all the ingredients together until you have soft dough (enough to hold it’s shape, but still sticky).

Pre-heat your oven to 200C (I used heated my pizza stone)

Place the dough, formed into a circle or whatever shap you choose, on a baking tray or the pre-heated stone  -

Cut the dough 3/4 through into quarters or deep slits on the top if you choose an elongated shape.

Sprinkle with a little flour and bake for about 20 – 30mins until done and sounds hollow when you tap it underneath.

Accommodation supplied by Homeleigh Halt Guest House, bed and breakfast style, where you are welcome to bring your wood and meat and have a braai beside the pool.

We can recommend a really good butcher just up the road where you will be spoilt for choice. Their meat is absolutely top quality.

I advocate supporting local establishments in My Walmer.
