In today’s episode, we’re joined by South African Sprint Elite Champion and Durban 70.3 winner, Pieterjan van der Merwe.
We talk through his recent victory in Durban — the highs, the lows, and how the day unfolded on the tough 70.3 course. Pieterjan shares insights into his race strategy and what it took to come out on top.
We also dive into the gap between age-group and professional racing, and the long, often underfunded road many athletes walk to make that leap.
A real look behind the scenes of elite racing in South Africa.
