Sunshine on a winters day 😊 Thank you @capesco Sunshine on a winters day 😊 Thank you @capescotty and your team from @swimcapetown for an incredible women's only Simon's Bay Mile race today. Conditions were absolutely perfect and glassy, and it's the first time I swam in naval waters. What a treat! I don't know if there are other events like this but it's the first I've come across. It is really special to have a swim event where only women are allowed to participate, and with world class crews and organisation both in and out of the water. It goes a long way to get more women in the water. Although I'm no longer a beginner, I was one not too long ago and remember how daunting it was to start, and how absolutely terrified I was of my first swim in the ocean (and the next few after πŸ˜…). I've been working on various aspects of my swim a lot this year, and I'm super happy with the time I was able to do this in, even though I'm not in the best of fitness right now. I'm sure Coach Scotty is proud of my sighting skills that he taught me...I didn't swim ANY additional distance πŸ₯³ (next time I will start my watch before I step into the water, and not 7 steps in, so that I can measure 1600m 🀣) Meeting all the lekker people was the cherry on top! I've truly missed this ❀ πŸ₯° #roggietheswimmer #simonsbaymile #longbeach #navalwaters #navyseals #womensday #swimcapetown #sailfishsouthafrica #justkeepswimming
Happy birthday my dear sister @fadeelahk 😘 Wis Happy birthday my dear sister @fadeelahk 😘 Wishing you the very best day and year ahead. As you journey into this new phase of your life, your adventures will no doubt like slightly different. OK OK...very different! It is a privilege to watch you take on the role of motherhood so naturally, Salmaan is a lucky little munchkin ❀ Love and appreciate you, always! #happybirthday #sister #salmaansmommy
Everyone's favourite puppet & ventriloquist combo Everyone's favourite puppet & ventriloquist combo ❀ I would definitely recommend going to see the @mrchestermissing Nice Racists show at the Artscape. It's only playing for the rest of this week still. It's not a "laugh until your stomach hurts" type show. They discuss the issues of race in SA, a topic that really needs so much addressing still, in a way that brings humour into it just enough to lighten the heavy topic. You will be introspecting by the end of it. Very grateful also that Conrad stepped in and made sure I had an opportunity to attend the show even though silly Computicket only sells even numbers of tickets for the show online (meaning you can't just buy a single ticket, smh). Wishing you all the success for the show in future as it travels to other SA cities and then plans to go international πŸ‡ΏπŸ‡¦ #chestermissingselfie

It's so surreal that this day is finally here! I l It's so surreal that this day is finally here! I leave for Dubai today and then doing @im703middleeast Dubai on Saturday, 5 March 2022. It's a 1.9km swim, 90km cycle, and 21km run. It was the end of December when I told my @embarktri coaches that I want to do this race. With just over 2 months to train, I knew it would be a push to get ready in time, but they did not hesitate or doubt for a moment that we could make it happen. Well here we are, and I feel so ready. The training was equal measures of tough and lots of fun. I'm so incredibly grateful for the team and friends I get to train with, and to my family and friends who are so supportive of my crazy ideas. I'm going to make you all proud, I promise. #im703dubai #roggiethetriathlete #roggiedoesdubai #letsdothis #solomission

Wow that swim @bluelagoontriathlon was humbling, the bike course was lekker (of course there will always be some wind to contend with!), and the run...well, we don't talk about that run πŸ™Š It should be illegal to have a hill that nasty on a course and make runners do it 4 times!! πŸ˜… The water point crew was incredible. Thanks to the guy that gave me a whole bottle of water to empty onto myself for cooling when he saw I was throwing cups of water on myself. What a fun weekend it was! The @embarktri familia was out in full force, to make it more than just triathlon. It's about the bonds we make along the way. The tri'ing is just an excuse to get there πŸ˜„ So my Blue Lagoon demons have been slayed. And #roggiethetriathlete is into the swing of things for the season. Here's to bigger and better. 2 weeks to go before I toe the start line of a little bit of a biggie. So it's been back into training with full force this week for that last push! 🀜🏽 #swimbikerun #reflections #wearetriathlon #triathlon #chasingPBs #butnotalwaysaboutthePBs #incrementalimprovements

SWIM BIKE RUN baby! πŸ’₯ First time I'm putting o SWIM BIKE RUN baby! πŸ’₯ First time I'm putting on a triathlon race belt in almost 3 years. For most of us it's been at least 2 years anyway. But races are back. BOOM! I've got demons to slay at @bluelagoontriathlon. So far so good. I'm feeling race ready and keen to smoke the course tomorrow. Thanks to the awesome @embarktri coaches and @atcmultisport team. You guys truly make it so simple for us. All we've gotta do is show up, do the training, and put in the effort. The change in my fitness in such a short time (only 2 months) has truly amazed me. I haven't done many triathlons of this distance (standard/Olympic distance) so I'm looking forward to see how it goes. It's also my first race with #Strelathe2nd and my first tri with my awesome @sailfish_south_africa wetsuit. Looking to racing alongside some awesome people. That's what we love about this sport, it's the people that makes it great. Let's do this thing my peeps πŸ’ͺ🏽 #swimbikerun #bluelagoontri #triathlon #roggiethetriathlete #kitlayout #embarktri #atcmultisport
