Meaning no disrespect to any state or event, I have compiled a list of some of the little nuggets that stick out in my mind. So without further delay... drum roll please...
- Coldest Race: ALABAMA. You would think Alabama in May was a sure bet but they had a wicked ice storm that produced hail and freezing rain. Temps never got about 50. It was miserable.
- Toughest Run: WYOMING. Billed as a trail run, it was bush-whacking. No trail; just red flags every 20 paces. Through fields of waist high grass, over streams, rocks, up and down the Big Horn Mountains. Oh and did I mention it was at 9000 feet elevation?
- Most Unique Event: NEW MEXICO. A backwards triathlon. Run, Bike and then Swim. I killed the run because I had so much energy and since that's where I tend to struggle, I did very well. Took 1st in age. Not sure I would want to do that order all the time but it was interesting.
That's enough for now. Stay tuned... there's a lot more recaps to come.
