We asked for quotes from Mike and Keri - our male and female overall winners - about their race experience at XBD.....and because the quotes are so smashing, we are exploiting them on the blog. Maybe it will convince you to join us next year!!
Keri Grosse:
"The race was exactly as I imagined an Xterra triathlon would be - almost an adventure race with swimming in water lillys, island hopping in the fog, bike portaging through waist deep creeks and winding and sliding through a wet, mossy, rooty serpentine bike and run course. I was totally impressed with the perfectly placed volunteers and aid stations. The attention to detail was amazing with chip timing, tiki torches on Xterra island (not to mention a guest appearence by Wilson of Castaway fame). There was so much going on I forgot to gun it for the speed trap so obviously I will be back to try that. Overall I was amazed that this was the first presentation of this race as it was so well thought out. It was obvious that the race directors are athletes, have a sense of humor and take pride in their work. Thanks for the opportunity to ride in the best xterra experience I have had so far".
Mike Vine:"XTerra BD was a great experience with its superb organization, pristine venue, and one of the most challenging mtb courses around. The people there were all friendly and enthusiastic too. I really enjoyed the mtb ride with some of the Pac Northwest's finest twistiest, tightest track... I didn't know a course could be so twisty!! Great to see a true mtb course that challenges even the most experienced riders. Actually I was hoping it wouldn't be as demanding as it was since I'm racing another XTerra in Vail only 6 days later!!!
See you next year,Mike"
