Xterra Nevada (Incline Village)






You can't see the top of the mountain, clouds and it was snowing up on top it was so cold.

We only had 1/2 mile of pavement to ride it felt nice!


I just returned home this last weekend from Lake Tahoe Nevada, where I completed my second Xterra Triatholon. Saturday was the day of the race, and they had to cancel the swim because there was 45 mph winds that created 5 foot swells on the shore. They replaced the swim with a mile sprint, then we were off to the top of the mountain on our mountain bikes. 13 of the 19 miles were climbing & the first 4 miles we climbed 1800 feet. As we descened down the mountain we ended the race with a 5K mountain run. I had fun, a little sad about the delayed swim but I will have plenty more races to go! I went with Wes (my brother in law) and Chris. I finished in 3hrs 18min. p.s. I think this is my first post!!
