Viva Las Vegas!

I had a good season opener, despite a few hic- ups on the bike. (a small crash and a twisted chain)
Josiah Middaugh from Colorado had a 1.15 lead after a phenomenal bike, but to my surprise I slowly reeled him in on the 1st (of 2) super hilly run laps. On the 2nd we dueled head to head, and with 2k to go I attacked and got a little gap on Josiah. I told him afterward if he had worn the Avia AVI Stoltz racing shoes, he would have won…

Rich Cruse has been shooting XTERRA since my 1st intro to dirty triathlon in 2001. Since then we have become great friends, and we have done a lot of “work” together.
Our working relationship:
The Running Event: The Suunto Story
The Suunto booth was just a few spaces from the Balega booth. As I went over to say “hi” I was pleasanty surprised by this poster they had. Larger then life. It was taken at XTERRA Snow Valley in CA, where I raced with my new limited edition, customized Suunto t6 Red Arrow. The one with the cool new transmitter belt. I also used the Foot POD, but between the altitude, the thick sand and the steep hills, the numbers were’nt impressive.
Thanks to Courtney and Susan for many a laugh at the Suunto booth.
