XTERRA Lory & King of the Rockies

MORF had a great weekend racing and volunteering at XTERRA Lory and racing mountain bikes at the Winter Park King of the Rockies race.

At XTERRA Lory, Vanessa finished 1st in her AG and was the 7th for amateur women OA. Natalie raced her first XTERRA tri and did an amazing job -- she placed 6th in her AG, had a ton of fun, and finished smiling! Mike and Aaron represented MORF by volunteering before, during, and after the race.

XTERRA Lory also had some post-race slip-slide races.... Natalie raced to try and win an XTERRA wetsuit and had a lot more energy to do this than you'd expect from someone who'd just raced for a few hours in the heat!
At the final Winter Park race of this year, Debby won overall for the amateur expert women, and also won the series for her AG. After a season of work and international travel, Ryan raced with a few gears on his bike and placed 2nd in his AG for expert men.

Josh also recently raced the Leadville Trail 100 and finishing in just over 27 hours!

Winter Park Mountain Bike Series - Crankworx

Great race! Had some time off after BC so had some nice rested legs. It was a little weird not starting with the pros I found myself off the front early and setting the pace for the field up Sunken Bridges, not sure how comfortable I was with that. Conserved energy on the lower part of the climb cause I knew I needed for the top rocky part. Took the lead again on the way down and maintained for the most part the rest of the way! First overall Expert win! 9th Overall w/ Pros. - Debby

XTERRA Indian Peaks

Another good day. I love this race it is one of my favs. I was so happy that the wind didn't pick up like last year so that made the swim so much better. I like the TT start. Bike is one of my favorite XTERRA bike courses with some really fun Single track and fast flowy sections. It is actually a mountain bike course :) I put down the 3rd fastest bike split for the women but could not run fast enough to stay in there. Of course this is a fun rough trail run which I am still being conservative on the ankle. I ended up 2nd AG and 6th Overall. Just need to gain some more confidence and speed on the run. - Debby

Also at XTERRA Indian Peaks, Greg placed 2nd in his AG and Josh placed 4th in his AG.

At the Boulder 70.3, Vanessa placed 4th in her AG.
