Triathlon - Duathlon

To the public, it seemed always questionable if XTERRA was coming back to town. But to a very few of us - there was absolutely no doubt - including yours truly. Spike Toler, Kate Lucas and myself KNEW - XTERRA would be back...and we set ourselves to making sure that the experience of all the athletes in the races occuring both days was what they were expecting based on all of the previous 10 races here in Richmond.
There was incredible work performed by a few more people that made the race a success: Marianne Swann & Courtney Cotton acting as Co-Volunteer coordinators had their hands full with the incredible number of volunteers that pre-registered and walked up. Developing and implementing a plan for a race of this size in just 4 months was quite an accomplishment and my thanks goes out to those I have just mentioned but also - and just as importantly ALL those who came out to make this race a success.
Next year will be even better - and since I will be racing, I know I'll be in good hands!
