Xterra World Championship in Maui

Its a done deal. The stress is over. The race finished up on Sunday afternoon and it was a Hot (86) and Humid Day. Amber did great. She set herself a time and hit it spot on. She finished in (Swim-27:10/Bike-2:08:46/Run-1:04:38)=3:40:30. She got a podium spot, 2nd in her age group (30-34). She was 7th Amateur Woman Overall. It was Incredible. She was fighting a cold the last few days, but she dug deep. She got a IV Fluids after the race and lots of ice towels. She joyed that.

Jen Beck and Taylor Seevy both got 3rd in each of there age groups also. Andy Deanow was 7th in his age Group. He took 3min off his best time. Another good showing for Alaskans. Full Results at: http://www.xterraplanet.com/

The Girls are having a great time between the pool and the beach. Dara got a cold that Cada had so its going around our family. I'm Next. Hope Not.

I've been riding and doing alittle running. I'm not to motivated to do any big 4hour rides right now. Since the Race season is done for 4 months. Just enjoying the Beach and pool.

Amber just chilling!!

9:Zero:7 Snowbike with Epic Design Bags

Just picked our our Bags from Eric at Epic Designs. There Bad Ass. He does good work. Should be good for the Arrowhead 135.
Check out the sweet details of this Rig. Ti Frame built for us at C.R.C by Merlin size Med. 100mm Rims drilled out to be Sub 1000g Rims (that's light for a 100mm Rim), Paul Front Hub 135mm, Black Sheep Ti Fork 135mm.
The Aluminum bikes are arriving this work. We just saw some pictures of the Red Ano. It looks sweet. They'll be available in Black or Red.

The 3 Pictures Below are of a Custmer bike that he just built up.

The bike looks hard core with those Big Nobbies on it. He's been riding it on the Hillside in the mud. Vicious 80mm Rims drilled out and he's rocking them.

Amber Takes Title / James Takes 2nd Overall

Amber got the win. She won every Cross Race she enter. Impressive.

I finished 2nd Overall in the Series. I'm happy with that. Will won the series. He's just so good on that slippery , technical stuff.

The girls went to the race with us and hung out while we suffered.

Championships!!!!

So, Saturday is the big day for cross. who ever wins between Adam, Will, or myself will when the Series. Should be a heated Battle. I hope.

Amber has to finish her race to win her series. She's been a tough to beat. She's getting ready for Xterra World Championships in Maui.

Let you know the final out come Saturday Night.

Family Win!!!!

We finally got a the same win in a race. We both got a Win in Arctic Cross #5. After 5 tries I got a win in Cross this season. I had to get by the 2 youngster on a Slippery, Rooty and Wet course. Adam had a Flat in the beginning. Will and I rode together for about 4 laps. Then he had a rear flat. So that means, hit it hard for the win. That's just what I did. Who ever wins Saturday Race will win the series between Adam, Will, and Myself. Just like last year. Hopefully I have a better race than I did last year. Lots of Sand and Bike Path. Should be fun and fast.

Must have been the Socks!!!

Cross #3 and #4

Got back from Vegas and Raced Cross #3 on Sunday and boy did I suffer. I don't think I have hurt that bad on a Bike in along time. I guess flying and be exhausted caught up. I finished 3rd and I was happy with that.

Wednesday night we had Cross #4. It was downtown at Quianna Park. It was a sweet course. Will took a early lead again. But he got a flat with about 2 laps to go. Adam and I took the lead. Adam attacked with 2 laps to go. I got caught out and in a turn and that was it. I rode in for 2nd.

Amber won both her races. Shes won 4 in a row. Tough Cookie.
