Carla, Vicenza’s biggest triathlon fan
Thanks to the wonders of the World Wide Web, triathlon has gone viral! Even in Vicenza, Italy…
Interview with Triharder.co.za
Triathlon is booming in South Africa. Ironman in PE, the 70.3 in Buffalo city, the XTERRA Series in its 6th year, a budding ITU programme and various off road multisports events.
Triharder.co.za is a cool new South African based triathlon website and here is an interview I did a few weeks ago.
TriathlonTeam.com, (of which I’m a member) is currently doing a series of interviews on Triharder and here is an excerpt from the 1st interview with Nikola Tosic, the brain and motor behind TriathlonTeam:
[All the logos posted here were custom-designed for each of the athletes after working 1-on-1 with each of them. The ultimate goal is for the athletes to gain exposure and be able to brand and market themselves effectively. The site has become a hub for all the athletes’ pages and almost a bit of a “playground” for the athletes to share the lighter side of being a pro and to interact with each other.]

10 questions with Igor Nastic
Meet TriathlonTeam.org team mate, Igor Nastic.
I was born in 1978 in Bellinzona, Switzerland and my origins are serbian. I work as a teacher, but i also do some journalism, art consulting and coaching. I love to mix travelling, art, good food, good wine and super though training… unfortunately the day has only 24hrs
Include a picture of your choice.
[I think it says “Artist’s shit”]
How you feel about your season so far?
i’m very happy even if i broke my arm few weeks ago. i enjoy very much training in my region, and i had the chance to train by bike in palma del mallorca, which i consider a great place for many reason: culture, food, lifestyle and bike roads.
10 Questions with South African XTERRA athlete, Dan Hugo
For starters, and the reader’s benefit, write a short paragraph about yourself:
I’m evading reality but painting a canvas with all the colour I can find. There’s a definite lack of technique, more just splashing lines and blobs of colour and allowing them to take on a story of their own. I was inspired, you see, by this blog’s animate owner. So the canvas is life, and the paint is sport, specifically triathlon, mixed with travel, odd characters, brilliant brands and the dream that perhaps, at the end, the canvas will look like a master piece (which it doesnt right now). I’m 24, feel somewhere between 15 and 40, depending on the time of day and how hungry I am. I base in Stellenbosch South Africa, and Truckee in California when over to the USA.
10 Questions with Nikola Tosic
For starters, and the reader’s benefit, write a short paragraph about yourself:
Born in 1977 in Belgrade. Grew up in Lagos, lived in Serbia, USA, Italia, South Africa and a bit in France. I love internet and work with online content for living. I enjoy doing sports and art (same stuff). I love good food. I like living close to my parents and have been together with Martina, my girlfriend, for eleven years.
[Note from Conrad: Nikola is The Master, The Brains and The Teacher behind TriathlonTeam.org. Before I met him I could only read emails and attach photos. Nikola started putting the team together about 2 years ago. Dan Hugo was 1st, who introduced me (over a great seafood linguine on the Cape Town ocean front) and from there on the team grew quickly to 8 guys. We are still looking for a worthy girl blogger… (send applications here)
Nikola has helped me with brand building, logo design, race kit design, technically correct blogging and so much more. We also share a mutual love for good food and coffee. All our brain storming meetings go hand in hand with culinary delight.]
How you feel about your season so far?
Six years ago I started with 30kg overweight and somehow managed to finish Ironman in a decent time in my fifth season. This, my sixth season, is a complete failure when it comes to results. I am fat lazy and stupid. But I have managed to spend great time training in Stellenbosch, Greece, Switzerland and I still have Croatia and few nice places left. I have met really cool people and had a lot of fun. So from numbers side its shit, from emotional side it could be the most dynamic and interesting season ever. Since results mean very little to me it is a great season.
