That would be "Battle at Soldier Hollow". Last weekend, Rich and I raced the BASH winter triathlon. It was a 3 mile run, 3 mile bike and 3 mile ski. The weather was cccccccooold!! 9 degrees at race start! brrr. Of course, one warms up once you get going, but it was very chilly waiting to begin and took half a run lap for fingers to thaw out! The course was fun - no
t too demanding on the run and bike and we both enjoyed this a lot. Rich rode the bike course on his single speed with is amazing. I did well on the run and made up a lot of time on the bike, as most
athletes are likely roadies and skate skiers and not true mountain bikers. The time spent in MI and in Moab riding in the sand was very beneficial to us for riding in the snow. Of course, all the time I made up on the bike I lost on the ski as that is not my strength at all. The ski course was more challenging as it had a killer hill to climb right in the beginning. We had to do that twice. Rich is a great skier and had the third fastest ski time overall - that's great! Actually, Rich kicked butt in the whole race, too. He f
inished first in his age group and 4th overall! He did so well that he got invited to the World
Champion Winter Tri event in Austria.... Hmmmmmmm..... I, of cou
rse, did not get invited to Austria! haha. I finished 41 out of 60 overall.
