Xterra Race Report by Lynn

Xterra report (Sunday, August 23 - Canmore Nordic Centre)
This race was more fun than you can imagine and I totally loved it. I rode very slowly and conservative, but with more mountain bike experience I think I can go a bit faster downhill. The swim was warm and not congested at all as the females went out first followed by two other heats of males. The bike was two loops of nine kilometres each. The course was not technical, but a lot of climbing. The run was hilly made up of two loops, 3.5 k each loop. If anyone is looking to take a "step out of the box" this race may be of interest! It was sold out at 350 athletes and I imagine it will sell out next year as well.
