With these genes, she’ll be shooting hoops while wheelie-ing at the age of 3.
Or… a chess master or musician…
Being the Caveman is hard work- have been busy…
As you all know, its easy to overindulge and pack on the pounds during the festive season, so Cross Training is a key ingredient to keeping the Caveman fit and flexable.
Gotta keep on top of skills training too.
Breakfast sure wasnt pretty. But its all part of the food chain…
Like I said, being the Caveman is hard work. More news coming real soon…
Caveman wins in mountain region of Scanno at XTERRA Italy
XTERRA Italy has the most amazing course! Parts through the old mountain town of Scanno.
To the tune of "eye of the tiger" (thanks DJ Jack!) Caveman wins XTERRA Italy by 4 minutes.
XTERRA Italy made is debut in the idyllic mountain town of Scanno, in the province of Abruzzo. In terms of the culture and Italian country side experiance, it was a real treat for Liezel and I. In terms of racing, it was a truely wonderful experience. A well rounded, tough course and exceptionally well presented by Wolf Hardt and his crew.
Love it when a plan comes together… My 3rd win in a row in my new Hoka One One Stinson shoes.
The top 6 trying to wash off the mud. (and climbing tears) L-R Jim Thijs (BEL), Francois Carloni (FRA), Nico Pfitzenmaier(GER- actually ZAR!), Caveman (ZAR), Nico Lebrun (FRA), Oliver Shaw (NZ)
This Nico Lebrun designed course is filled with nightmarish altitude gain and peril…
Caveman’s specialized equipment choices in quest for 7th World title

ITU Cross Triathlon Worlds 2013 Long version
Cross Tri Worlds Highlights. (Short version- 2.40)
Racing through the dunes, stairs and sidewalks of Holland proved a fertile ground for innovative equipment choices. From the video you can get a feel for the course- but the real test was the long sections of deep, soft sand.
I enjoy thinking about equipment and how to make it better while training, and have been doing the obvious tire reaserch for almost a year.
Big was my surprise when I opened a “special box for sand racing” from Jason Chamberlain at Specialized. The biggest widest rims I have ever seen. Really wide. And light. Mounted with our biggest tire- Renegade 2.3- but more like 2.5 or 2.6 on this rim.
The dark sand is the easy part. There were 3 of these sections on each of 4 laps. Try picking a straight (existing) line, balance perfectly in it while deliverying seemingly a million Watts, WHILE being totally relaxed, BARELY holding onto the bars, ready to jump off and run the moment the front wheel digs in…
The Basics skills for sand riding: The tires need to float on top of the sand. The moment the front wheel sinks in, it snakes

Caveman’s Stellenbosch Kelfords Ford Fietsta Ambiente 1.4
[Open letter to friend and owner of Kelfords Ford and Mazda in Somerset West, South Africa]
Dear Tristan,
Thank you very much for the use of your wonderful little Ford Fiesta. We love the fuel economy, (5.9L per 100km) the nippy handling, the voice activated, hands free phone and radio system and the fact that it can take 4 bikes (size XL Specialized) plus gear. (2 bikes on the Thule Roof racks, 2 inside the hatch back- padded with the food and equipment needed for a long weekend training camp.)
BUT during our home-stay here in Las Vegas with Saffers Nic and Jodie Sacco, we got slightly spoiled with Nic’s everyday run around bakkie. “Spoilt” to say the least.
We would like to put in a request for your consideration for next years Caveman mobile:
The Ford Raptor F-150 SVT:
Yes, the one with the 6,2L V8 engine (420 Hp) and Fox racing suspension. To name but a few items.
