Subject: RE: Eldora Xterra Tri Hey Cam. Don't get too discouraged. I did not race the course yeterday because I sprained my foot at the Crested Butte Race the week before(and I'm planning on doing Beaver Creek)... on the run... with 3 miles to go, while running over a rock section. Rest assured the run (Crested Butte) covered some great rocky and rooty sections. I'm inclined to think that Buffalo Creek was somewhat more difficult with some tough scrambles. I had not run that section, but have ridden it several times during MSC XC Races. I'd say it is a blend of Buff Creek and CB. In the end, the terrain from yesterday is "typical and expected." Actually, it may even be a bit easier than some of the other courses out there. Some courses have a small rope scramble, under trees, through tunnels, big water crossings, and of course rocks, scree, roots, etc... Like I said, don't let it get to ya. This is XTERRA after all. PEr the norm with ankle injuries, rest and ice. By the way...congratualtions... you are an XTERRA triathlete! |
