What an experience. Very different from the usual XTERRA. Swam 3.5 laps (about 1.1km) in a small little lake at 1850m . (used to make snow in winter) There were 3 “Australiens” which in France, means getting out and running. Up a big embankment and down with a huge dive which took you almost to the 1st buoy.

With 2 XTERRA USA Series victories so far, I was eager to beat the rush and wrap up the USA points series early. (best 3 out of 4 Series race to count towards Series. Plus compulsory Tahoe Nationals)

Howdy folks

Amber and I are on the road at the moment, traveling from Pelham (where we raced XTERRA Alabama yesterday) to Richmond. (XTERRA Virginia coming sunday) To break up the 12 hr drive, we decided to spend the night in a budget hotel to rest our aching legs and get some sleep. The 1st budget hotel we stopped at was so scary/smelly/dirty, I went and asked for a refund once we saw the room. There were doods drinking out of paper wrapped containers while staring at our shiny bike laden rental car, the stairs and halls smelled like urine, cigarette butts were everywhere and the room smelled like baked….. So I went back and said we didnt like the view, we’d like a refund. So now we are staying in this nice hotel. The room even came with its own butler….
