“I don’t think the win has sunk in yet,” said Weiss.  “It’s been approximately five years since I started taking part in Xterra Grabouw.  I started out in the Xterra Lite, and if I think back to then, I would never have dreamt about winning at the Xterra SA Champs.  It’s such a surreal feeling.  I couldn’t be more proud.”
