Shelby County, Alabama - Conrad Stoltz of South Africa made it two-for-two at the ITU Cross Triathlon World Championships by successfully defending his title on Saturday.
Stoltz won the inaugural event last year in Spain, and won it again this year at Oak Mountain State Park in Pelham, Ala. The event was held in America this year as a partner event with the XTERRA Southeast Championship triathlon.
Stoltz, 39, completed the course in 2 hours, 12 minutes, 11 seconds. It consisted of a 1.5-kilometer swim, a 30-kilometer mountain bike and a 10-kilometer trail run.

Carla Van Huyssteen of South Africa had the fastest swim time and finished third overall in 2:28:34.

How so? I would have thought that they would do the exact same route, just different start time.

Excellent - well done!  Sad thing is most S African's have no idea who the caveman is let alone what he has accomplished.
