XTERRA World Champs 2008 pictures

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”. The socks are simply the most comfortable, best made sock you can find on the market. It has no seams anywhere, (the socks are partially hand woven) the heel is nice and deep, and the material is 1st class.
Balega socks are made in South Africa and is the # 1 selling specialty running sock in the USA. It is a small company, but the people, their values and their impact on the community is hugely respected. I’m very proud to be part of Balega.

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…
