Subject: RE: Xterra I will be dong the full distance event along with one of my friends at work. This will be my first Exterra. We also have a couple of first-timers (for any tri) doing the short course. Given that the short course is sold out, I would look carefully at the full distance event. It will likely be longer than a typical Olympic distance race in duration given the MTB ride and the trail running. If you have the base and are comfortable swimming a mile, spending 2+ hours on the MTB and 1+ hours of running than you can give it a try. If you are not quite there yet it may be best to skip this one and hit another event later on. I have been told these events are lots of fun so even if you dont do this one, the next Exterra on July 29 may be a good one to try. -Mark |
