Triathlon is my passion but sometimes you just gotta go off the beaten path.
For the past few years I have gotten to know a few XTerra guys. They've shared with me their adventures and I have to say I've been a bit envious. One particular friend is a well seasoned triathlete and also an XTerra World Champion. He does quite well in triathlon, usually in the top three and so I asked him if he has any adverse effects from the cross training. He was adamant in that he feels that it helps him stay focused, break up any potentially monotony and gives him the chance to just go out and play even harder.

Congratulations, CY! You are awesome.
PS: And speaking of awesome, 2009 US Master of the Year nominee who does a great impression of Arnold Schwartzenegger, Greg Taylor of Mankato, won the 55-59M AG at Ironman St. George on May 17.
