I got this birthday card from the Balega folks in South Africa. Tanya is always very creative with the Photoshop…

If your Afrikaans is a little rusty:

“Happy birthday Conrad, Enjoy every moment, Bert, Tanya and the Falke (Balega) team”

Also, my LUMA race kit by Greek artist Miltos Manetas can just in time for my birthday: Read more here.

Had an amazing sushi dinner with the AVIA Team last night and they spoilt me again:

My LUMA tri kit is made and printed by my good friend and former XTERRA pro, Gary Mandy.  The amazing thing about LUMA is that you can go to LUMAsports.com,  design any thing you dream up, and Gary will have it made, printed and delivered to your door in 4 weeks!  The quality of the material is amazing- breathable and light- crucial for the heat in Maui and the big climbs on the run and bike. (The clothes does not get too heavy with water/sweat)

Usually I would not go with white bottoms, but Gary assured me these wont show through when wet.- Otherwise it would become my Halloween outfit.

Then it came to the design and I wanted to do something unique. Triathlon Team founder Nikola Tosic put me in contact with famous Greek artist Miltos Manetas, who agreed to design a once off Worlds Race kit.

I like it, (on paper, anyway) and  Bobby thinks its “mad.” I think it means “good” in Irish… Gav?

This artwork is in the style of Miltos’ JacksonPollock.org creation. It won the 2009  Webby Peoples Voice Award. Probably one of the most fun websites I have ever visited…
