Photo Credit: Ewald Sadie<\/span><\/p>\nAccording to the four-time XTERRA World Champion and three-time ITU Cross Triathlon World Champion, group training for XTERRA is a great idea. \u201cIt is a fantastic opportunity to learn more about the famed XTERRA Grabouw course, get specific XTERRA training done, meet fellow competitors and pick-up on some tips,\u201d says Stoltz. \u201cThe training day will have a relaxed feel to it. Athletes can bring friends and family. It\u2019s important to bring cycling gear, running gear, some snacks and energy fuel, a change of clean clothes and a swimming costume for the dip after training. Look forward to an ice cold BOS Sport at the finish, nothing beats it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2022 Know your equipment. If you\u2019ve been training you would be familiar with it all, but you\u2019ll be shocked at the number of people who borrow a friend\u2019s bike the night before the race and then realise something doesn\u2019t work.
\u2022 Know before you go: Goggles that work. How to remove your wetsuit\/swim skin quickly. Tubeless wheels to avoid flats. The right tyre pressure so you don\u2019t get flats and\/or bounce around. Working gears and brakes so you can go and stop. Water bottles that don\u2019t fly out the bike cage. Comfortable trail running shoes.<\/p>\n
