Training Africa style…
I’m still on my parents farm near Lydenburg, South Africa, where I spent most of the Southern Hemisphere summer.
Real training started last Monday. My coach Libby Burrell (libbyburrell.blogspot.com) emailed a training program, now there is structure, and less play. Heart rate files are being recorded and emailed with my Suunto t6, logs filled in, I had my 1st massage since XTERRA Worlds in October. Any eating wise, “I’m back on the wagon” like they say in the US.
Here is a peek into “Conrad Stoltz ‘s average training day on the farm”:
After 4 hours in the saddle and home just around the corner, that last sand trap is almost a welcome sight.
5 World Champions

Yes, Specialized had 5 World Champions last year! Quite a big deal. We got together at the start of the Tour of California, and here is a peak from behind the scenes:

I honoured to receive this special award here in San Diego. The 40hr flight was fully worth it. The Competitor Awards are amazing, and the other award winners were truly inspiring. Saul Raisin, Scott Rigsby, Ryan Hall, Chris McCormack, Heather Fuhr – some amazing stories: EnduranceSportsAwards.com.
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)
