So the tentative schedule came out yesterday for XTERRA. If you click on read more you will get the overview of the XTERRA Cup... which is what the old Overall Pro Series has become.

Essentially, pro athletes will do 5 of 8 races plus the National Champs in Snowbasin to win the overall tour. What do I think? Well, 8 races does make for a more "overall" feel than just 4. However, the carbon footprint of 8 races in all corners of the US is very large indeed. Especially the way it is scheduled. We are going to be criss-crossing all over the place to get this done.

That said, I am excited to be going to the new events. Nothing says "fresh start" like a completely new lineup of races. Most exciting? Only TWO are altitude! YES! Unfortunately, the most important one of all is still at altitude but I LOVE Snowbasin so I can let that one slide.

In addition to XTERRA I will race a bunch of the "Series formerly known as NORBA" to get up to speed. This year I might actually have to start with a little more pep given it looks as if we are going to giterdun starting May 2. The tentative races aren't in this schedule but it could be a lot of events in a row early in the season. Crazy and early.

I have put a tentative lineup for 2009 up, including a couple of 70.3s that I would like to do to get myself a spot at the draftfest known as Clearwater. I want to go add another World Championships to my life experience. Road cycling, mountain biking, XTERRA, 70.3... I will have to do the trail run Worlds as well as Kona to really round it out. Then maybe next year I could do the cross worlds and the marathon mountain bike worlds as well.. haha! Just kidding. Okay so here is the schedule page.... so READ ON

Episode ONE is now available for viewing!

As we tried to convey in the trailer, Racergirl Television is going to be about more than XTERRA. It is going to be a show about anything and everything triathlon and cycling. As I attend a number of events and training camps for both triathlon and cycling, I thought I could get a good variety of information from all of them for you to enjoy. Our first episode, however, coincided with the XTERRA National Championships in Tahoe. Originally this show was going to be a guided tour of the bike course. Then we lost a bunch of the video, ha! So it changed to more of a documentary of what I was thinking and doing before I did the race.

I love all of the feedback I have been getting. Please keep it coming! I am making these videos for you to enjoy so if you like it or hate it, let me know.
