Xterra

I have always wanted to compete in Xterra – it is an event everyone rates to be so much fun, so this year us Waiariki chicks thought  we would get out there in full force and tear it apart. With some outstanding team work Luuka, Katie and I managed to take home the woman’s team title and Monique Avery monstered the Under25 woman’s grade, overall finishing just moments behind the winner Nic Leary.

It was a stunner of a day and all the competitors and supporters were getting the atmosphere pumping.  The individuals kicked off first, mixing it up in the water then onto the bike, showing us teams how it is done before we had started.

With all the training my team had done to prepare for this event (Luuka – 6 swims, Katie 3 – weeks tapering and me – one handful of runs) our game plan was to just bust it out! Execution went well, Luuka splashed out the 1km lake swim, Katie pulled through with a fast 29km mountain bike ride and then all I had to do was finish it off with an 11km run – mean! Getting back running was such a buzz.

As Monique puts it, all up it was a “primo extremo” day out! Thanks Waiariki!
