Stoltz returns to Xterra Buffelspoort - TheEd - 23-01-2014 Reigning TOTALSPORTS XTERRA Buffelspoort men’s champion, Conrad Stoltz, will be pulling no punches on Saturday, 25 January 2014 when he defends his title at the 2014 TOTALSPORTS XTERRA Buffelspoort presented by REHIDRAT® SPORT. “XTERRA is fun, outdoors, challenging and involves great people. That’s why people should enter,” says Stoltz. “I love racing and there are only two Totalsports XTERRA events in South Africa that include a swim, mountain bike and trail run discipline. If there were more I would take part at those too. Totalsports XTERRA Buffelspoort differs from Totalsports XTERRA Grabouw in altitude, the bike course is fairly easy with not much single track, while the run course is unusual and takes participants over a dam wall and up and over some rocky ridges”. “By taking part in both the Totalsports XTERRA Buffelspoort and Totalsports XTERRA Grabouw, participants will obtain firsthand experience of just how different the two venues are,” continues Stoltz. “Each venue has its own ambiance and challenges. This is why I still enjoy XTERRA after so many years. I think Buffelspoort is a great race to get into XTERRA. It’s not too technical or tough and with just reasonable fitness, skills and equipment anyone can do the full distance. There is also the XTERRA Lite for those who feel they need a stepping stone to the full distance”. Top Totalsports XTERRA Warriors that will be chasing Stoltz on the day will include: Dan Hugo, Theo Blignaut and Daniel Carleton to name just a few. In the women’s race reigning champion Carla Van Huyssteen will face tough competition from top Bermudan triathlete, Flora Duffy.
