The Totalsports Challenge is a great event with beautiful scenery.  We actually considered entering in the \u2018individual\u2019 category this year, but Liezel didn&#8217;t feel ready for it just yet.  We love training together and it fits in perfectly with my training program as I do those disciplines anyway.  Our team strength is a combination of speed, mental toughness and we&#8217;re both naturally competitive.  If Liezel sees a spec on the horizon, the lioness in her comes out and she has to chase it!  It\u2019s very funny, but great for our team,\u201d says four time XTERRA World Champion, Conrad Stoltz.<\/p>\n<p>For former SA netball captain Liezel Stoltz, taking part in the individual category of the 7-disciplined Totalsports Challenge is definitely a future goal.  \u201cMaybe in 2014 I can do all four disciplines of the Terra Firma Challenge and hopefully someday I\u2019ll be able to take on the 7-discplined event.  This year however, Conrad will be doing the road bike and mountain bike disciplines, while I\u2019ll be doing the road run and beach run.  In the beginning I use to struggle with the distances and would say \u2018this is hard\u2019 to which Conrad would reply \u2018if it was easy, it would be called netball\u2019.  That in itself is what motivates me,\u201d laughs Liezel.  \u201cOur team strength is that we have fun together and love what we do.  It\u2019s our lifestyle.  So far the Totalsports Challenge is the only event where we can compete as a team as it fits in with Conrad\u2019s racing schedule\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Adrenaline junkies can choose between the 7-discipline Totalsports Challenge or the less daunting 4-discipline Totalsports Terra Firma Challenge. <\/p>\n<p><strong>EVENT INFORMATION:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>DATE: <\/strong> Saturday, 12 January 2013<\/p>\n<p><strong>VENUE:  <\/strong><strong>Start<\/strong> &#8211; Gordon\u2019s Bay (Beach Front)<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t   <strong>End <\/strong><strong>&#8211; <\/strong>Kleinmond (Beach Front)<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>EVENT<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>:<\/em><\/strong>  \t\t <strong>Totalsports Challenge<\/strong> &#8211; 12km surfski, 1.5km swim, 50km road bike (from Gordon\u2019s Bay to Kleinmond), 13km road run, 13km K1 canoe, 25km mountain bike and finally a 9km beach run <\/p>\n<p><strong>FORMAT:\t  <\/strong>Enter individually or in two, three or seven member teams<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>EVENT:<\/em><\/strong>  \t\t <strong>Totalsports Terra Firma Challenge <\/strong><strong>&#8211; <\/strong>50km road bike (from Gordon\u2019s Bay to Kleinmond), 13km road  run, 25km mountain bike and 9km beach run.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FORMAT:\t  <\/strong>Enter individually or in two or four member teams<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#ff0000\"><strong><em>NEW <\/em><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"color:#ff0000\"><strong><em>~ <\/em><\/strong><\/span>What better way to prepare for the action of the Totalsports Challenge than by taking part in a <strong><em>5km Fun Run<\/em><\/strong> the day before!<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>DATE:    <\/em><\/strong>        Friday, 11 January 2013<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>VENUE:\t\t  <\/em><\/strong>Kleinmond Lagoon<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>TIME:<\/em><\/strong>             18:00<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>ENTRY FEE:   <\/em><\/strong>R35<\/p>\n<p>Enter online at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.totalsports.co.za\" rel=\"external nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>www.totalsports.co.za<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Follow us on Twitter:  @tschallenge<\/p>\n<p>Like our FaceBook page:  Totalsports<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the Totalsports Challenge presented by Liberty Medical Scheme and REHIDRAT\u00ae SPORT  visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.totalsports.co.za\" rel=\"external nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">www.totalsports.co.za<\/a> or contact (021) 511 \u2013 7130.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Power couple Conrad and Liezel Stoltz will be in the hot seat on Saturday, 12 January 2013 when they attempt to defend their mixed team title at the Totalsports Terra Firma Challenge presented by Liberty Medical Scheme and REHIDRAT\u00ae SPORT.
