Elite  4583   |  Subject: 8.22.16 Hey BT! I'm alive!Good morning, almost afternoon BT! My last free day before heading to teacher meetings tomorrow. Got the summer bleached hair cut and colored--time for sensible hair once again! Lol! So...the XTERRA. Wow. My hat is off to those who actually race race these things! I will say I was not DFL...I actually beat a handful of people. It was my slowest Oly tri ever--5:49! The mountain bike climb was AHHHH-MAZING! It was so hard though! The climbing was all through sand--not deep, deep...but still SAND! The Flume Trail was spectacular--the flattest part of the ride. One side up against the mountain, the other side a drop off cliffs. Out in front, gorgeous views of Lake Tahoe--but it was too scary to look for very long! The run was described as relatively flat--I say they should have written 'relatively' becuase it sure felt hilly to me! It was a bit of a run/walk fest--but I did it! I will post a full race report later! What an experience! Karen, so excited for you for World's! Have a great day all! |

Yes, Xterras are tough, especially if you don't train the terrain. The bike can be especially tough, since it's a different kind of bike racing. Lots of power surges, technical handling is important, and obstacles can be right in your way! I've only raced one, but it was a blast!  |
