Thursday, May 23, 2013. Giving the plants a little TLC. Other than the rattlesnakes waking up, not much else exciting happened in March, so let's move on to April. Kata, Myself and mini-Chloe ;) post race! April I got back into the racing thing and started off the month with a last minute decision to race the Arizona MBAA XC Mountain bike race up in Prescott.

CHRISTINE JEFFREY: Xterra USA
http://swimmingcj.blogspot.com/2012/10/xterra-usa.html
Sunday, October 7, 2012. I haven't really been too excited about writing this race report, hence the two week delay since Xterra USA Nationals. Overall the race went about as well as could be expected considering how my year has been going and I'm happy with my 6th place finish. However, the resulting aftermath is just typical of what I am going to chalk up to as simply the curse of 2012. Swim Start - Xterra Photos. Wheeler Canyon - Photo Emma Garrard. Middle Fork Trail - Photo Nils Nilsen. Race Details:...

CHRISTINE JEFFREY: July 2012
http://swimmingcj.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 26, 2012. And just for fun I decided to make it a super double weekend by entering the Tahoe Trail 100 MTB race the next day. Why not! Fortunately, we found each other surprisingly quickly and got safely on our way, unlike several teams who after 45mins (swimmers swap out each 30mins to start) still couldn't locate their swimmer. Pretty awesome way to spend a Saturday morning! Chillin in the middle of the 4mile long Boat Conga Line! Sunday. Another 4:30am wake-up ugh! Race start was 7am at...

Wednesday, September 21, 2011. Colorado Fun and Pics. Wasn't inspired enough to write a race report for the Xterra Beavercreek race but here are some pics from the experience and much more fun drive home. Xterra BC Swim Exit @ Trey Garman/Xterra. Xterra BC Bike @ Trey Garman/Xterra. The next photo is where the bike course topped out at about 9,500ft. It is also about where my head exploded. My legs had given out about 1000ft lower down.
