I came to XTERRA Whistler for the single track and boy, I wasnt disappointed!

For sure the hairiest, most scary, most technical XTERRA course I’ve seen.  I walked some of the most hectic sections to check them out, then get on the bike, motivate and attack. Felt the rush of adrenaline, realized I forgot to breathe. What a rush. The riding here is in a class of its own. Not what I’m used to for sure.

I was just going to roll with the standard bike set up on my 29er Sworks Epic, but within 10minutes, I had the bar ends off, sliced the rear tire, so I put some Captains on and of course the Command Post is worth its wight in gold.

To make things harder – it just started raining and cant seem to shake this head cold.

The XTERRA crew, the athletes and the scenery is amazing. Fun times:
