halloween ride from irvine to san diego in costume with us...
how's the body after the double? how was the new xterra course?
Nice!
Good Q's Sean - when you coming back to the mainland?
The box over there was really really cool. Anthony is the owner and very knowledgeable and encouraging for us skinny endurance athletes. Yea not going to make the run we are working the Harbor Heritage Run 5K at Newport Harbor High School. Wish I could make it, looks like fun.
Body feels good. Much better than I anticipated. The course was really nice. Got screwed on the swim at the first buoy complete bottle neck and was no room to even doggy paddle. The bike was legit, first climb hit 35% at .7 miles into the bike, luckily it was paved. Lot's of other 20-24% climbs as well as some steady climbs. Lot's of single track, not real technical but enough to keep it honest. Run was steep climb up 3 miles and then back down. Think there was 3-4 log/tree obstacles. Check out the video on you tube (Xterra 2011), I got some video on the bike at the 5:45 mark.
I just need to get out of the water faster. I lost time on the bike because of not being able to pass on the single track and then people falling in front of me so I had to get of my bike.
I will be back next year maybe with fresher legs and better results. Would love to get some hardware over there.
You all dong VQ this year?
Slate I got back unfortunately on Tuesday.
