New Race Scheduled - Xterra Last Stand

Ok, one more race scheduled for Team BRAZO. Oldest Mini and myself will participate in the Xterra Last Stand in Augusta Michigan on May 18, 2008. Not sure what I'm thinking with a open water swim in the middle of May, but I can only hope the the temp's are the same as the 2006 Madison Marathon -- low 90's.

Here is a brief description:


COURSE DESCRIPTION

Swim Eagle Lake, bike Red & Blue Trails, run the beach & Green trail. After the swim, transition to the bike, offering challenging hills (the most famous is “Cardiac”,) “the Trenches” resemble a Nascar track (high-banked turns), stream crossing and “Grannies Garden”.

The run pits you against beach sand, and woods welcome you for a challenging off road run.

Distances: Tri: Swim: ½ mile; bike is 12.5 miles and the run is 4 miles. Du: 2 mi run, 12.5 mile bike, and 4 mile run.
