Very warm conditions in Saipan we try to have our workout down early in the morning. Went rode the back side of the course yesterday with the tribe and Alex from Russia. He's a very strong age grouper and one to watch for sure on race day. Thx to a person that shall remain nameless ( that's you commander) the climb to Tapochau to hook back to the course was not easy. Mean while GL and Allison found a much better mode of transportation. With the back side completed and the coral no less slick, we headed to the Tank to Tank swim, a beautiful 1200 m open water swim to WWI tanks with full of sea life. This morning, Roy, Jay and myself headed out to ride the first half of the course where Jay would continue on to do the whole thing. Conditions were dryer than 2 days ago which should be good if it stays that way for race day. Roy and I than got a ride to Death Valley on the run course to take a look at it. Imagine a dried river bed with lava and Coral rocks, drops and cave to navigate. It's another run course where gloves are mandatory. So that's it until race day. Very light workout tomorrow. Just changed my derailleur hanger as I bent my other one on day one. Two days to go until Xterra Saipan! Happy trails!
Carpe Diem
