Event comments:

The iconic Manchester Road Race is THE place to be on Thanksgiving Day-enough said about that. My wife rocked it with another sub 49. Mike made his goal of sub 45 by 3 seconds and my youngest son Kyle beat me by 5 seconds to claim fastest in the family, for the first time. A great day!

Nice race Dale.  That is so awesome that your family was all running.  I can't believe you let your son beat you.

The XTERRA off-road triathlons consist of a lake swim, a mountain bike trail ride, and a trail run. I decided to try the AZ Xtreme Desert XTERRA Tri as my 1st off-road triathlon, and my 3rd tri ever.
