So, after an extended leave of absence for which which I can only apologize, I am back to the blogging. Hopefully from now on I will be able to be more diligent about this...
It has been a whirlwind month since my last blog and I couldn't possibly cover it all in the time I have to type right now, but will get to it all in good time. A brief synopsis though:
I arrived back from Philippines and raced Double Century less than 24hrs after touching South African soil. Our team came 6th ouut of 194 teams. Good days work.
Then back to PE and a brand acquaintance evening for The Bike Boutique, including a speach by yours truly.
I am not sure what happened to the three weeks between... but this last weekend I headed to Worcester in the Western Cape for the JailBreak Ultra Tri (2.2km swim/100km cycle/25km run). I have come 3rd and 2nd in the previous two years, so first was the only option really! I got that result comfortably by 10mins and felt great throughout (although the last run lap did hurt a bit!). Race report to follow...
48hours later and I was back in action in PE showing my support f
or the great work of Atlas and EPTA in putting together the Summer Series. It was just a sprint tri, but 48hours after the 2nd-longest tri in SA, I was not expecting much. Turns out I was to be surprised! I felt incredible! It was one of those 'in the zone' races where you wish it would go on forever... I have been feeling like this more often lately, including a long stretch of the JailBreak cycle. Fitness is a great feeling!

Fitness is a great feeling!I won the Summer Series race too, by aboout 6mins (a massive margin in a sprint tri, and probably a major contributing factor to my good emotions!).
These wins (and some promotion by my good friend, Alec) got me some nice coverage in the local media and my status in the tri-scene is certainly rising.
To round off a superb week, yesterday saw the launch of my website, http://www.jamescunnama.com/.
I am really happy with the site and a big thank you must go to Online Innovations for their help. We are still ironing out a few glitches, but check it out and let me know what you think...
More news soon...
