That is what XTERRA is all about.  There will always be a challenge.  I think my toughest competition on the day will be Jolande De Villiers, she\u2019s pretty tough.  After XTERRA PEZULA I\u2019m hoping to take part in a few European XTERRAs, but my focus will be on the XTERRA World Champs in Maui\u201d.   <\/p>\n<p>Top competitors in the Totalsports XTERRA men\u2019s race will include Dan Hugo, Stuart Marais, Kevin Evans, Bradley Weiss, Theo Blignaut, Daniel Carleton and Kent Horner.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration:underline\">Follow us on Twitter<\/span>:  @xterrasa<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration:underline\">Like our FaceBook page<\/span>:  Stillwater Sport &amp; Entertainment<\/p>\n<p>All entrants can look forward to stocking up on energy at the much loved <strong>Bokomo Breakfast Zone<\/strong> that will open at 07h00 at PEZULA Private Estate Field of Dreams (Knysna), while the <strong>REHIDRAT\u00ae SPORT Recovery Zone<\/strong> will be a welcomed oasis for Warriors after a tough day of racing.<\/p>\n<p>Awesome prizes up for grabs will include a KTM Ultra Sport 29 mountain bike (valued at R11 995.00), a<\/p>\n<p> Totalsports voucher (valued at R2 500.00), an ISUZU 4&#215;4 Academy Voucher, x1 SUUNTO AMBIT2, x1 SUUNTO QUEST, x1 iON Action Camera and more. <\/p>\n<p>For further information on the TOTALSPORTS XTERRA presented by REHIDRAT\u00ae SPORT please contact Stillwater Sport &amp; Entertainment on 086 138 3591, email <a href=\"mailto:info@stillwatersports.com\" rel=\"\">entries@stillwatersports.com<\/a> or visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stillwatersports.com\/\" rel=\"external nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">www.stillwatersports.com<\/a>.
