Caveman’s semi secret swimming protocol

Thought you’d like the Captain America Speedo. It has a star on the front. ( I like to antagonize Speedophobes with my speedo collection, but so far I’ve only got smiles and comments)

Swimming is all about efficiency. Fitness and power is just a sideshow. You can quote me on that.

I’ve been swimming for 24 years now. I used to be able to knock out hard 6km sessions by myself all week long, I once swam a 10.5km session

The 2nd coolest car in Bend. Disguised as a tribute to the Red Rocket

Being quite the “car guy” myself, I know a spectacular car when I see one. I just love cool cars. I bought my beloved Red Rocket (1987 Nissan Sentra) for $750 in Colorado Springs in 2001 and drove it like I stole it (and many other happy memories) before abandoning it in a parking lot in Reno- 2008. (Wanted to light it on fire and push it off a cliff but life has just been so busy)

Those bungees held the front fender up, and when I had to impress someone (like meeting a sponsor) I would touch the yellowing fender up with a can of black paint.

Conrad Stoltz XTERRA Whistler, by Dustin Derkach, Revolve Photography

I have always been spellbound by the crazy “BC” trails (British Columbia, Canada) one sees in the mountain biking videos and magazines. So when XTERRA Whistler came along, I jumped on the opportunity to experience this magical place, its trails and its people.

D day -1 for XTERRA Whistler, Canada

conrad-stoltz-portland-vancouver-flight

I came to XTERRA Whistler for the single track and boy, I wasnt disappointed!

For sure the hairiest, most scary, most technical XTERRA course I’ve seen.  I walked some of the most hectic sections to check them out, then get on the bike, motivate and attack. Felt the rush of adrenaline, realized I forgot to breathe. What a rush. The riding here is in a class of its own. Not what I’m used to for sure.

I was just going to roll with the standard bike set up on my 29er Sworks Epic, but within 10minutes, I had the bar ends off, sliced the rear tire, so I put some Captains on and of course the Command Post is worth its wight in gold.

To make things harder – it just started raining and cant seem to shake this head cold.

The XTERRA crew, the athletes and the scenery is amazing. Fun times:
