XTERRA Series Wrap-up

The XTERRA Utah Trail Running Series was really fun!

Thoughts:

--That first race was scary... I didn't know if I could finish all of them after that first 10K

--Each race was completely different

--My only goal was to finish all 4. SUCCESS!!!

--I also ended up 1st in the series for my age group; it was a nail biter though

--Weren't we supposed to get some sort of finisher's prize though??

--The half marathon (not put on by Striders) was the most disorganized of the races
*The bus schedule was all messed up
*The XTERRA people were set on setting up this stupid balloon arch thing
*We (runners) didn't get any food coupons for the post-race party
*There was no clear-cut bag check
*The race was about 2 miles short!

--Lung issues made it tough to run that XDURO race, but I ended up 3rd in my age group, even after taking it REALLY slowly

--The trails and weather were beautiful for every race

--My favorite hands-down was the race at Snowbird

--And they had $10 haircuts at the finish line of the XDURO :-)
