The Xterra Mountain Championships...


I do love a race, and SaturdayI had my one and only race of the summer... the Xterra Mountain Championships at Snowbasin. This year I have had little or no training time... just a bit of mountain biking when I could fit it in. I am NOT kidding when I say I was in the pool swimming training laps only ONE time before this race. With my lack of training, I thought it prudent to only enter the "Sport" category, as opposed to the "Championship" distant which I did the last 2 years. WISE MOVE. 750meter swim (instead of 1500), 19k bike (instead of 30), and a 5k run (instead of 10). This race was fun!! I ended up 4th in my age group, but the greatest part was the fact that I finished before the majority of the racers had packed up and gone home!

p.s. the time above is not the correct time...the sport racers started 20 minutes later, so I was firmly sub-3 hours!
