  • Comments: St. Croix HIM is one that you will never forget! I don't care if you win the race or are the last finisher. It's very well run, hard and falls into the category of an Epic Race. The only downside to doing this race is that people stop listening to you after 30 min and you haven't even gotten to the Beast portion of the bike yet. Oh, at the Awards ceremony, we happenned to be where the pro's were hanging out. So I got a picture with Faris, Craig, the Lovato's, Richie Cunningham and some others. Amanda remembered me from the bike course. But then again...who wouldn't? :P I found it funny that Mike L. was carrying her purse!

  • Comments: In summary, St. Croix was an awesome race. If you're looking for a lot of bling and swag, then it's definitely not for you, however if you're looking for a course that will challenge you and push you to limits you've never been to before, then I can't think of a better race. The scenery is beautiful, and the people are awesome. There's a bonding that happens in St. Croix that hasn't happened in previous races. I'm not sure if it's because it's approximately 1/4 the size, or if it's because the island is small, but it's an amazing feeling. And now, for the rest of my life I'll be able to say, I climbed the Beast!
