My friends call my dad “Tarzan.” Not sure why.
As you may know that he has been fighting colon cancer of the 2nd time over this past year.  His plight had been an inspiration for me to win XTERRA Worlds in October- something which I knew would make him very proud. (”Stoltz” means “proud” [...]

I have never felt so emotional at a finish line before.
To understand the significance of this win, you have to walk the last 10 XTERRA Worlds years in my shoes:

This was my last [...]

“It was a dark and stormy night…”

“It was a bright and sparkly morning… Six of us - all friends and family- got together for a little informal XTERRA training camp on our farm near Lydenburg, Mpumalanga. Uh, thats South Africa.
