Competed in 8 Xterras during my rookie endurance racing season attempting to qualify for Xterra National Championships at Lake Tahoe (10 Xterras including Nationals and Worlds). Being from a weight lifting background it was tough 'cause I just couldn't seem to get that light-weight body type, but I qualified. Don't I look relaxed the day before the Big Race?
Tahoe didn't want me as it was choppy as it gets, but I sliced through it like a cigarette boat and I kicked off the tri with one of my best swims ever.
I highly recommend checking out the spactacular view during the mtn bike. Broke my glasses at the 8900' summit and decended the fast, sand-clouded downhill eyeballs exposed. I had frequent visits from the sandman for a week!
Here I come like gang-busters into run transition. A close look shows me braking for the Barney ahead.
Headin' out on the run.
Division: 15th of 35
