XCO SA Wolwespruit

This past weekend was my first U/23 and Elite cross country race. I was very nervous going into the race knowing what my competition was going to be. I put my head down, grit my teeth and pushed as hard as I could. After six laps, 34km and 1000m of climbing I managed to cross the line in 15th position. Along with this being my first U/23 race it was also the first time racing with my new gear. My Suunto Ambit 3 Vertical was very user friendly keeping me informed 100% of the time as to where I was on the track and the amount of climbing to come. Along with my new watch I had my new eye-wear from Bolle. Absolutely no fogging and now sweat run off on the lenses. Two great pieces of equipment which really made the race way more enjoyable! A huge thank you to all my sponsors who are currently making this racing season possible.

Bollé Eyewear

I am very excited to announce my involvement with Bollé sunglasses. I received a set of 5th Element Pro sunglasses with modulator lenses. I am very impressed with the fit and the speed at which the lenses change in different light intensities. This awesome piece of gear is really going to help me in my 2016 racing season. I am very happy to have Bollé as my official eyewear sponsor. Stay tuned for a ride review on the new gear!

Varsity College

With today's prevalent strikes about lowering tertiary education fees and all the many other issues which have arisen around the whole topic I would just like to express how grateful I am towards Varsity College for allowing me the opportunity to come and study at such a prestigious institution. I was fortunate enough to receive a full bursary to study here for the next three years of my tertiary studying career. I received the bursary as a result of my sporting accolades. Varsity College has opened a whole new view of the world around me and has allowed me to explore many different interests in a safe and friendly environment. I cannot express the amount of appreciation that I have for this amazing opportunity that they have presented to me. 

Suunto sponsorship announcement

I have been biting my tongue to keep this awesome little secret in. It is official. I will joining the Suunto family as of this month. I have been using a Suunto Ambit 2 S for about two years now and I have never been happier. It is such a phenomenal watch with amazing features that suit all types of athletes. It has made my triathlon training an absolute breeze. I am looking forward to upgrading to the new Sunnto Vertical, with even more features and a more user friendly set up I am sure it'll be an absolute pleasure to have as my new training partner.
