2009 XTERRA O.N.E.

[Alan]

We have a tentative race date for the 2nd annual XTERRA O.N.E. at West Branch State Park on Sunday July 19th.
This date could be changed and is waiting approval from XTERRA.
The final 2009 schedule is still about 3 months away.

Alan, I am excited to see it back on the calendar!!! I'm definitely in this year! Maybe if I can get my husband to swim and run by then, he could even do it!

[Alan]

That would be great if Joe would do it. I think if he did he just might get addicted!

I'm trying to get an XTERRA Trail running series here too.
This would be a 3 race series and the top finishers in each age group would qualify for the XTERRA National Trail Running Championship in Bend, Oregon.

Put it on another weekend! One that doesn't conflict with the Huntington race.

Also the same weekend as Musselman. Bummer I may miss Huntington AND O.N.E.

The week before would be perfect.

I totally understand your concerns over multiple races on the same weekend as the Xterra ONE, but because Xterra is a points series triathlon we are dealing with close to a hundred races and race directors throughout the USA. This is not an easy task to organize the race schedule with this many races and growing every year.

I guess all I can say is the Xterra points series manager's that set up the schedule might kick the date out, it's just too early to set the date in stone. Like I said in my original post "as of right now it is tentative".

Why not race the series and try to qualify for the USA National Championship instead? For 2009 the USA Champ. race moves from Lake Tahoe, NV. to Snowbasin, Utah. Gotta love altitude ;D
