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 [...]
Just like at XTERRA Coeur D’Alene and XTERRA Richmond, my friends from Balega (new website) came out to help spread the Balega and Fleet Feet specialty sport store love to the local community.
We usually have a meet and greet at the local Fleet Feet. (Even rhymes!) We smile knowingly when people rave about the best [...]
The black stuff in there is rotting steel girder and James River mud. They breed us tough in Africa…
3 minutes before the start I moved a stray swim buoy to where it should be and kicked an old, rusty steel girder lodged in the mud under water. The gash was huge and completely black with [...]

Them dere are the AVIA Avi STOLTZ trail shoes. Super excited! They hit the shelves this past week. Also, Balega, the #1 sport sock out there.
Falke socks is basically the South African version of Balega socks. (USA) Or vice versa?! Anyway, thay are the best out there in terms of quality. Seamless toe boxes, deep heels, 1st class yarn. Cool company too.
What happens in Africa when you leave your bike stationary for too long. (Wont say how long, but not long at all!)
It is a kind of wasp that made a nest and probably laid some eggs in the suspension pivot of my Specialized Epic.
NO kidding. A perfect little wasp home. This guy is quite some [...]
The Balega booth was located front row center. Pretty much the same place they have in the specialty running industry. The poster was shot on top of Paarl Rock near Stellenbosch.
The Running Event 2008
I’m down in Big Ol Texas for The Running Event with my sponsors Balega, Avia, Suunto and Clif Bar. Its a trade show for the running industry. Will post some more tomorrow…
Before the start- calm, smiley AND READY TO KICK ASS! Photo by Nils Nilsen
Balega is based in Hickory North Carolina. It was just about halfway through our drive, and of course it was a great opportunity and see the Balega folks again. (Russell, Jacky and Rob. Chris was on the road and Bert and Tanya in South Africa)
Balega is a Zulu word that means “to move with speed”. [...]
I’m in Alabama getting ready for XTERRA South East Champs this Sunday. Feeling good and ready to tear it up. Stay tuned…
I’m very excited to post my 2008 race kit. As you can see, the design is the bright coloured South African flag. Which ties in nicely with the rainbow stripes of the current World Champion. A very unique look…
They call me “the Caveman.” I am: 6ft 3, weigh 85kg, 33 or 34 (?) years old. Professional triathlete for the past 16 years. I am an African. (Gets me funny looks in America)
The Springboks took the Rugby World Cup, so I had pull out all the stops and hit XTERRA Worlds in a big way. The only way- on the top of the podium, lei around the neck, sponsors Pacifico Beer down my throat.
What an epic battle. My game plan of killing everyone on the bike [...]
The Caveman emerges from Lake Tahoe 40 seconds down… Rich Cruse XTERRA
and beats the camera man out of transition… [...]
