Ciao Luca!

My friend Luca Molteni from Italy clowning around and then emailing this fun photo. Otherwise I would never have seen this poster. (or Luca swinging like a monkey)

I met Luca in racing XTERRA in Europe and he placed 7th in his age group at Worlds in Maui. The great thing about XTERRA is the people you meet from all over the world.

Despite the snow outside, I’m drenched with sweat. No, I’m not riding the stationary trainer in preparatory revenge for XTERRA Worlds 09. I just watched the highlights of this years’ race. I lived the race again. Sitting at the table, adrenaline pumped and my senses were abuzz with racing fever. Go to Xterra.tv for 2008 Worlds highlights. There is no commentry, you dont see me flat, (it will probably show up on the full length TV show) and it looks like I’m off the bike 1st, but I relived the race in Technicolour.

You too can relive (or just “live”) this season’s XTERRAs. Watch the whole season’s XTERRA races from all over the world and most notably Jamie Whitmores’ (she is fighting cancer) XTERRA Warrior Award 2008 on XTERRA.TV

My XTERRA.TV favourite is 1996 Worlds with Jimmy Riccitello, Mike Pig, Ned Overend, Michelle Jones and Mark Allen as commentator.
