Conrad Stoltz talks about Stuffitts

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

I had long forgotten about the impromptu interview/chat at XTERRA Alabama with Mike Huebner from Stuffitts.
This morning I accidentally spotted a @Stuffitts Tweet. Mike has been a busy man, he edited and managed to create a coherent video clip from the couple of hours we chatted at the Oak Mountain State Park.
Considering I literally ran [...]

The 2010 Avia Avi STOLTZ is here

Monday, May 17th, 2010

And it comes in cool new colours that matches the weeds in our garden! The only change we made from the “old” shoe, other than the colour (duh) is a firmer mid sole. (65 Shore A Density) Read  here about the thought process, (Cave people DO think!) and development which went into this unique shoe. [...]

2009 XTERRA World Champs podium by Rich Cruse
From L to R: Olivier Marceau (4th), Micheal Weiss (3rd), Eneko Llanos (1st), Nico Lebrun (2nd), Conrad Stoltz (5th)
Yes, I am disappointed. (Thanks for the nice e-mails. True friends are the ones who cares no matter the result) I did everything in my power to get to [...]

My dad is right- one can count a humans’ age like a tree- by the number of rings it has.  My dad says he is at the age where you can count the rings around his knees. One can count the number of USA XTERRA Titles I have won by the [...]

Avia Avi Stoltz Xterra Racing Shoe
After the traction disaster that my wife and I both suffered during the Granite Bay Duathlon, we went looking for a shoe with better traction that qualified as a racer. We both have significantly [...]

Rich Cruse was my boss for 10 minutes

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

I met sports photographer Rich Cruse at my 1st XTERRA- Richmond VA 2001.
Since then we have become close friends, but also we managed to do a lot of business together. He would shoot pics at races and make me look good- not an easy task- and I would offer it to the press and sponsors [...]

Customizing your Avia AVI Stoltz for mud…

Friday, July 17th, 2009

XTERRA Vermont was the muddiest race I have ever done. Even the run was really slippery and muddy and it went straight up and down the Sugar Bush ski slopes.
Special conditions calls for special measures. I modified my Avia AVI STOLTZ Caveman style…

Step 1: Buy a handful of 1/2 inch screws with big heads.
Step 2: [...]

Amber shifts gears -or loses the plot- depending how you look at it!

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

 
Amber always loved going long. But this year she redefines the term “long.”
Early 2008 she took a huge plunge and quit her nursing job to race the US and European XTERRA Series. Oh yes, and Ironman South Africa and Kona. Placing consistently she finished 5th Pro woman in the US Series for which I think [...]

Zappos.com rocks

Friday, May 15th, 2009

I visited Zappos with Avia last week. Wow, what a place. Sure, they are in Las Vegas, but the people in the company are pretty amazing.  Young, hip, creative and maybe somewhat kooky? (Kooky- Wait, thats like the pot calling the kettle black!)
