Griskus and Vermont Xterra

This past Wednesday I completed my first Triathlon, the Pat Griskus Sprint.

Today, (Saturday) I finished my first Xterra race. My first Triathlon and Xterra Race in the same week.

Today at the Vermont Xterra Sport Race I had a really good swim. My swim improved from 21:56 (Griskus) to a little more than 16 minutes. I was in third place overall coming out of T1. Crazy!!! The mountain bike course was brutal , it was wet, muddy and up a mountain. World Champion Conrad Stoltz called the course "by far the hairiest XTTERRA course I have ever pre ridden."

The 5k trail run was either straight up or straight down the mountain. The back of my legs were hurting while running up and my quads were screaming while running down.

But I managed to finish.

Sam Goater had a great race and took first place.

Because of Targetraining I was able to finish both events. If I can do it anybody can. Sunday I get to rest and watch the Pros suffer on the long course. Good luck Dom!

We would like to thank all those who joined us on what turned out to be a beautiful Independence day weekend.

We had three great days of events including an excellent group of TARGETRAINING clients and friends for our Croton Damn destination ride on Friday, our Saturday 6AM and 9AM group rides, and our TARGETTri event at Sherwood Island on Sunday!

We hope that the rest of the summer has such great weather and camaraderie.
