XTERRA Mountain Championship
Beaver Creek, CO
Flew in to Denver and stayed with Circ and Cindi Toepel who are pretty well known within XTERRA community. Circ is a funny man with some good dry humor and excellent delivery. Talk to him if you see him at a race. Later met up with fellow triathlete Heather Holmes. We got to know each other a bit. She is a very cool girl.
The swim was tough for me in altitude. The only time spent in altitude was various races throughout the year, spending only a couple days at each one. Only a few days here as well although I still have a couple more races in altitude before XTERRA USA Nationals so hopefully I'll be ready by then.
Despite gasping for air during the swim, I had a pretty good bike and run. Not the most ideal placing but I seem to be getting better as the season goes. Finished 14th but got some series points and these fabulous shots...
