Momentum Health OatWell DualX powered by PeptoPro held at Hakahana, Pretoria. Quality pix by Zoon Cronje. The rest- probably mine.
The other great thing about spending my first winter in South Africa (since 1991) is now I can do the interesting local races I’ve been missing out on. Been following the DualX off road duathlon series from across the ocean via the interwebs and vicariously through Theo Blignaut. I’ve heard about the fantastic Advendurance organization, decent prize money, “real” run and bike courses… but mostly I heard of the “unbeatable Brand du Plessis.” I didn’t realize exactly how unbeatable until I learnt he hasn’t lost an off road duathlon in 6 years.

Caveman to race DualX off road duathlon this Saturday
Theo Blignaut’s stories of the adrenaline (& pain!) filled DualX racing series, fascinated and inspired me to leave the goggles at home and give off road duathlon a whirl.
I was drawn to XTERRA in 2001 because of an action packed picture of Steve Larsen running his bike through a stream in Richmond USA. The Momentum Health Oatwell DualX Duathlon Series powered by PeptoPro has been running for a year in Gauteng, and I’m excited to see what its about: Technical run and bike courses, fantastic Advendurance organization, good prize money, extensive SuperSport TV coverage , and as you know, I just love racing!
See you at DualX #1 Hakahana this weekend!
PS: It’s a bit of a last minute decision, so sadly, no Caveman MTB Skills Clinic in Groenkloof this time, but “Pre Ride XTERRA Grabouw bike course with Caveman” is still on for Sunday 8 & Saturday 14 Feb.
