I struggled to get up and down the steep hills. The last .30 miles was the most difficult part of the run. My body wanted to stop.

lose some weight
Post race
Warm down:

I was spent. I walked to my family and sat down for a while.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Swimming and body weight(187). Actually, I was pretty happy with my results. I will do more Xterra races in the future. If I can improve at the swim I should move up slightly overall. I had forgotten how much fun mountain bike racing is.

Event comments:

Thanks to all the volunteers and the Evansville YMCA for hosting a challenging but fun event. I will attend this event annually!
