XTERRA Utah 08<\/p>\n
Saturday I will toe the line for my 7th XTERRA USA Series title. The Series title points to consistency throughout the season. After consistently winning a few races earlier this year, I got a nail through the tire in Idaho, and cut my foot in Richmond. (go here<\/a> to see those juicy pics again) Those setbacks, (setback seems to be\u00a0 a Caveman consistency in itself) means that the points are closer than I would like. I really dislike this course- its lots of climbing and a little bit of down hilling.\u00a0 2800ft of down hilling is lost with this point to point race up the site of the 2006 Winter Olympic Super G course.<\/p>\n That said, Ogden is a great town, the people are really welcoming and the scenery is amazing. The trees are turning red and yellow on the mountain slopes. The Utah Sports commission is putting a lot of money into promoting sport and sports events in the state, and they are quickly building a sportsman destination reputation.<\/p>\n I borrowed this piece below from the www.XTERRAplanet.com<\/a> newsletter. For press info, and pics, say you are a journalist and want to be placed on the mailing list, email Trey Garman<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0 For video on previous XTERRA races, go to www.XTERRA.TV<\/a><\/p>\n “It all comes down to this.\u00a0 The 8-stop XTERRA Cup Series for professionals that started in early May wraps up with the ultimate showdown of XTERRA\u2019s best on Saturday, Sept. 26 in Utah.\u00a0\u00a0 And when we say the best, we mean it as the top 13 ranked men and women are on the start list \u2013 the lone exception being fourth-ranked Dan Hugo who just suffered through two weeks of a severe flu and painstakingly decided to stay home in South Africa to build an 8-month-base of training so he could tackle 2010 with a vengeance.<\/em><\/p>\n THE MEN\u2019S RACE<\/em><\/p>\n The man to beat is Conrad \u201cthe Caveman\u201d Stoltz (pictured), the most feared XTERRA athlete on the planet.\u00a0 He won here last year, won four of the five Cup Series races he entered this year, and showed true grit by winning with an injury in Richmond.\u00a0 That said; anyone who thinks it\u2019s a foregone conclusion that the Caveman will come out on top should consider\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n 1) Three different guys have won this race \u2013 Stoltz last year, Seth Wealing in \u201907 and Mike Vine in \u201906.<\/em><\/p>\n 2) Last year the top four guys finished within a minute of each other.\u00a0 Stoltz was at 2:21:32, Vine was 14 seconds back, then Brian Smith (40 seconds) and Wealing (50 seconds).<\/em><\/p>\n 3) In XTERRA mechanicals happen, like at this race in \u201906 when Stoltz had more than two minutes on the entire field halfway through the bike before puncturing his tire going uphill at 5mph.\u00a0 He flatted in \u201907 as well, as did Mike Vine. Using the last three years of results on this course when the XTERRA Mountain Championship was contested here from 2006-2008, it\u2019s clear that this race plays to power and strength and racers that can climb and handle the altitude.\u00a0 It\u2019s 4,600-feet elevation at the swim start and 7,600-feet at the top of the bike course.<\/em><\/p>\n It\u2019s also clear that there are a bunch of XTERRA pros that fit the description like Stoltz, Nico Lebrun, Mike Vine, Josiah Middaugh, Seth Wealing, Brian Smith, Branden Rakita, and Cody Waite (the last five guys on this list are from Colorado where they live and train year-round in mountain riding conditions and altitudes similar to this race).<\/em><\/p>\n Look for Wealing, Rakita and Stoltz to come out of the water first, a full-blown rumble up the mountain on the bike <\/em><\/p>\n with Stoltz leading the charge, Wealing and Rakita hanging on, and Middaugh, Vine, and Smith gaining ground, then a pure survival of the fittest and test of courage on the run.\u00a0 This race will rock, and thank goodness the XTERRA TV crew is in full force on site to capture all the action and turn it into a one-hour show for the whole world to enjoy (see scenes from last year at xterra.tv).\u00a0 Pro Start List: 11 – Will Kelsay – 28, Boulder, Colorado This pic is by Rich Cruse from XTERRA USA Champs in Tahoe 2002.<\/p>\n The women\u2019s pro field is as deep as the men (18 pre-registered pros in each race) but there is a clear No. 1 and that\u2019s Melanie McQuaid.\u00a0 The three-time XTERRA World Champ from Canada won the first five Cup Series races of the season then started thinking about Utah.\u00a0 She\u2019s been at altitude for more than a month, has done stints in Park City and right here in Ogden, has pre-rode the course dozens of times, won this race last year and in \u201906, skipped a big tradeshow in Vegas so she could fine tune, and is clearly, without a doubt, focused on the prize.<\/em><\/p>\n The unenviable task of knocking her off the top step falls squarely on Shonny Vanlandingham, the decorated NORBA champion who switched her focus to XTERRA last year and has gotten faster by the race.\u00a0 She\u2019ll likely have the best bike split (almost always does) but she\u2019ll have to make up some ground coming out of the water a minute or two or three behind McQuaid, then have a great run if she is to succeed.<\/em><\/p>\n Renata Bucher from Switzerland, who has won 18 XTERRA Championships in 10 different countries and four Euro Tour titles, is perhaps the most intriguing racer to watch.\u00a0 The XTERRA faithful have watched her climb mountains like a kid peddles through the park, nice and easy.\u00a0\u00a0 If she can do that here and come into the bike-to-run transition with a lead she could very well run away with the win.<\/em><\/p>\n Others to keep an eye include Danelle Kabush who historically comes on strong at the end of the year as evident in her runner-up performance at the World Champs last year (she was 4th at this race last season).\u00a0 Also watch for Carina Wasle (the XTERRA Czech Champ), Jenny Smith (3rd here the last two years), and Lesley Paterson (2nd at the Southeast Cup and 3rd at the West Cup this year).<\/em><\/p>\n The women\u2019s race could play out like this\u2026Christine Jeffrey leads all women out of the swim, followed a couple minutes later by McQuaid, Paterson, Bucher and the others.\u00a0 Jeffrey holds on for as long as possible until McQuaid catches and passes her, and the chase is on.\u00a0 McQuaid has a lead heading out on the run but how much of a lead, and can Vanlandingham or Bucher or Wasle or Kabush or Paterson reel her in?\u00a0 Only one way to find out, and that\u2019s to be at finish line at the world-class Snowbasin Resort (home to the 2002 Winter Olympics) at around 11:40 a.m. on Saturday.\u00a0 Pro Start List: THE XTERRA U.S. PRO SERIES FINALE<\/em><\/p>\n Stoltz has won the U.S. Pro Series an unprecedented six times since 2001, including last year.\u00a0 His only lapses came in an injury-riddled 2006 campaign (Seth Wealing won the series that year) and in 2004 when Frenchman Sylvain Dodet took the series by storm.\u00a0 This year he\u2019s on track to reel in No. 7 but three-time XTERRA European Tour Champion Nico Lebrun from France spent his season in the U.S. with the goal of winning the U.S. Series.\u00a0 It looked like Lebrun was well on his way to a mediocre season when he started the year with a DNF at the West Cup and a pair of 5th place finishes at the Midwest and Southeast Cups.\u00a0 But then he was 2nd in Idaho, 3rd in Richmond, 2nd in Arkansas, and won the last two races in a span of seven days to pull within 20 points of the first-place Stoltz.\u00a0 Now, Lebrun is in legitimate striking distance of the Cup Series crown.\u00a0 Scenario: If he wins on Saturday, and Stoltz is 4th or worse \u2026 he wins.\u00a0 If he’s second in Utah, and Stoltz is 5th or worse he wins (and it goes on like this, basically he needs to finish three spots ahead of Stoltz).\u00a0 But wait, Josiah Middaugh is not out of it.\u00a0 Middaugh, 30 points behind Stoltz and 20 behind Lebrun, would need a victory at USA Champs plus a 5th or worse by Stoltz.\u00a0 Here’s the top 10 in the standings (only best five finishes are counted):
