After a few days of cycling in Napa and some wine tasting, Steph and I forged on to Boise for Xterra, the drive was long, hot ad the air con couldn't even cool off the desert heat of Nevada. We arrived yesterday where I went and rode th course. It's a fairly fast course with one technical section which is a mix of single tracks and garden rocks. This 10 mile loop will have to be repeated twice. The run is a bit if an unknown with a nasty 24% climb, although short will have to be done twice also. The weather is very warm here but it should still be ok in the morning. Surprise entry in the sprint race is Steph, like a trooper decided to take part although she hadn't been on a mountain bike. Our friend Lisa loaned us a bike for Steph and a quick wetsuit rental at the Tri shop and voila! As for me as per usual, biggest race division with 8 guys, mostly local, yours truly is the token Canadian in the Olympic race. Stay tuned for the post race result and hope your enjoying your summer. Happy trails!
Carpe Diem
