Battle ground Saipan

Saipan has seen its fair share of battles, major launching point for the US during WWII.  I suspect it might see its share of mountain assaults tomorrow morning when the gun goes off at Xterra Saipan.  Pro field is stack and it should be a battle both on the men and women, this shall be interesting at the finish line.  The race consists of two 750 m swim laps with a beach run in betweent.  Next is a 30 km mountain bike and finishes with a gruel 12 km trail run.

After a very light workout this morning, we just came back from packet pickup.  Funny enough I have number 120, I had 20 in Guam. Not too sure what the weather has in store so will find out soon enough in the morning.  This is a smaller field than Guam but will be non the less competitive.  We shall see where the chips may fall when the dust settle from amphibious and  land attacks.  Stay tuned for the post race report.  Happy trails!

Carpe Diem
