| Offroad Tri race 1:59:00 [5] | |
| what a work day! another wicked race - very challenging but awesome. Bigger field than last race, and alot of tough competition. Started with a much inproved .8 K swim over the last - first woman out of the water, and passed alot of men too even though the women started 5 mins. back. (guess the TI coaching helped - but I felt pretty smooth) Onto the bike for 19K - I knew I had to make fast work of the course cuz my run is not so strong. Stormed through to 17th position in the T2 (exstatic to still be first female, but even more exstatic knowing that we started 5 mins behind the men, so I was definitely closing the gap) The run was ony 8K, but soooo TOUGH today. Great swirling up and down singletrack course. Felt stronger than the last race, but still pooped. Kept the motor ticking over, but let a couple male track-stars pass me - crossed the line with a big smile, and what little energy I had left (none...all left on course in today's heat) in 15th place, first woman overall. Got a groovy top 20 medal, and big trophy, and a bottle of Fat Tire Ale to reward the efforts! Awesome race, and agian, awesome people/organizers/course/everything...
Been thinking I would like to get Xterra back to Canada, and set one up in Albion or Kelso - talked to the Xterra embassador at the race, and we are getting the ball rolling!!!! Yay!!!! Any volunteers?? ;) | ||
