Went down to North Vancouver for the Dirty Duo race on Saturday. There were a bunch of events to choose from, a 50km trail run, a 25km trail run, a 30km mountain bike, a team relay combining the run and ride, or solo (do both the 25km trial run and 30km mountain bike), and thats the one that I opted to do, why I asked myself at the start line, "do I choose the hardest one??". I told myself it was to challenge myself and get a great day of training in for Mexico !!! So anyway the trail run was first on this cold raining morning, it involved a lot of climbing and some great technical descending (which is where a few of us broke away from the pack). Coming in at the end of the run at 2hrs 44mins in 2nd place, I was not really looking forward to the ride. The mountain bike course was wet, muddy, and technical. But all in all I was happy with my efforts, the uphill was slow and painful, but the downhill made up for the pain, and I had some great fun descending in the crazy conditions. I was thankfull to cross the finish line in 3rd place, tired, soaked to the bone, and layered in mud !!
