Race rating (3)

Comments: This would be a spectacular race in March or November. It's reasonably well run and the trails are decent. In fact, much nicer than I had anticipated. However, holding it in July just ruined the fun for me. It would also be nice to see chip timing.

Comments: As usual I'm too lazy to write details in specific blocks, so you get it all here. :) This was my first XTerra (off road) triathlon ever, and I had a blast; I'll try to do some more. It's too bad they're not as numerous as the road tris. The race was held in Hanna Park, which has beautiful beaches, nice MTB trails (although rather short; more on this later), and running trails that parallel the bike trails. Nice and shady under the trees, lots of roots, sand, stumps, and windy single track. We had basically perfect conditions for the swim. Calm water and clear skies. I had a nice swim and exited the water somewhere around mid pack. If you're really out to win one of these races, you'd have to come out of the water in the front to avoid the traffic jam on the bike. Not going to happen for me, but I did come out feeling fine, grabbed my water shoes for the run up to transition, and took off. The bike: I think I've been on the mountain bike about four times so far this year.
