I've been doing a lot of Zwift riding this winter. I joined Cryo-Gen, a team that races on Zwift and I am loving it. Actually I've been focusing on MTB marathons the last 10 years and as a mountain biker often racing in mud ( I don't train in mud ) the question comes to mind, have I become a bit of a Nitwit?

It was due to a by chance reading of the website's comments section that I stumbled on a familiar name in the blog listing, Barry van Jaarsveld, whom I had known many moons earlier from the Western Province triathlon scene of the 1980s/1990s. Barry had left SA many years previously to study chiropractic in the USA before settling in the Netherlands, and we had a few mutual friends. When I emailed him to re-connect and ask if he would be interested in being interviewed, he kindly obliged and set the wheels in motion for what turned out to be an almost two year "Where Are They Now" themed series of interviews with former South African triathlon and cycling greats.
