XTERRA South Africa 2008
“Its this way around the buoy, right?” Dan Hugo and I looking at the 1500m swim course seconds before the start of XTERRA South Africa 2008.
Ironman South Africa 2008
Its late tuesday night, and Amber and I just got back from Ironman South Africa. What a race. What a weekend. What great friends we made.
Amber PRed her swim, bike and run. 13th woman out the swim, she rode the 2nd fastest split, and was off the bike 3rd woman overall, finished 8th and won the ladies age group overall. Thats a long sentence and a great performance. Considering she only took up sports 4 years ago.
Go read the whole story on web.mac.com/AmberMonforte.
More about the rest of the trip once I catch up on sleep, training, massage, healthy groceries, humongous laundry, sea salt-off-bike-wash.
Oh yes, I race XTERRA South Africa this saturday. XterraSA.com.
Visit my again in a day or two…
Who needs Chuck Norris when you have Conrad Stoltz?!
I found this email from a fan in the archives and it brought a smile on my face. Thanks Kevin!

Be good. – Kevin

Like my bike – Specialized Stumpjumper 29er?
My 2008 racing machine:
Specialized Stumpjumper 29er. Yes, it is BIG. Ryan Palmer built it at Specialized Team Camp last week, and when he finished building it, he said, “wow, its a monster”. The name might stick. The Monster.
I love the way this bike rolls over anything thats ugly, flat or downhill. Especially ugly. Uphill is still under investigation.
I truly believe this bike is fast and I’m excited about the new challenge of winning races on 29inch wheels will present.
Specialized’s engineer said if we can sell 500 he’ll make a carbon model…
