Well...Last Weekend Turned Out Pretty Good!

Well after being cut down by a stomach bug, the weekend of racing turned out pretty good!

The Xterra Big Elk 21km was on Saturday and despite having heavy legs I did  reasonable job of pacing myself to a 3rd overall finish and importantly gaining top points in the age group. That should have wrapped up the series age group win for the 2017 Xterra Atlantic season!

Good racing today at #xterrabigelk with the @adventuregeeks team. Pulled out a 3rd overall in the 21km race after a week of stomach issues. We finally stepped our podium game up with selfies and decent jump by all three of us #xterra #gopro #salmingrunning #parvillacycles #trailrunning

And then on Sunday at Ramsey's Revenge MTB race I took the Cat 40-49 win!

Back to back racing this weekend. Today was Ramsey's Revenge MTB race & managed to take the 'Dubya in the Cat 2 40+ race. Fun course for my first XC race in 15 years! 📷: @dchammerette #mtb #parvillacycles #ramseysrevenge
