Rohan raced his first IRONMAN 70.3 race in
Buffalo City in 2017, where he impressed with
a fourth place in his age group (25-29). He
went one better in 2018, with a 3rd in his age
group at IRONMAN 70.3 South Africa. But his
crowning glory was an impressive gold at the
Isuzu IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship in
Nelson Mandela Bay last September.

WEAPON LOGISTICS
My current Giant is pretty much out-the-box
stock standard, apart from the wheels. The
Nova wheels I rode at World Champs came
courtesy of Chris Bruchhausen (thanks,
Chris, these are the bomb!). I prefer a higher
cadence, so my groupset and crank setup is
most important. I usually prefer a 54/42 up
front with 170mm crank arms, but for World
Champs I had to go with what I had.
