  • Comments: "Xterra is an extreme event......I just don't want to see you get discouraged..... maybe try a local sprint race and THEN attempt an Xterra....." All very, very sound advice as it turns out. This was too much. I am thrilled that I finished despite the fact that my time was unimpressive. I was badly fooled by the distances. 1000m swim, 11mi ride, 4mi run? In training, I can do that without breaking a sweat at this point, and did! in less than 1:50..... on flat land, at sea level, with no crowd. Ridiculous grades, 7,000 ft. plus elevation, trails whose surfaces resemble moonscapes....... .....Xterra, damn uncivilized.... .... but it was my first tri and I loved every minute of it.
