Congrats to Mike Vine and Keri Grosse  Overall male and female winners.

“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.”
