USA, Return to the Mountain Desert
Back 2 weeks now to New Mexico and it’s nice to be back and refocus on training toward USA Xterra Nationals in August.
I’ve had a mix of adventures being back. Biking, running and swimming along with hang outs at the plaza, Santa Fe Brewing Co., and around town.
Training has really picked up to put me in top fitness- Abiquiu lake, Aspen Vista mountain trail, RailTrail Running trail. This is my moment to give all I have to prepare and then race against the best. The physical test of training and then racing brings a layer to the idea of what someone can pursue and achieve in athletics.
Pictures of these 2 weeks and what I can pack into my daily life.
