What no Xterra love? Who’s in?
Can’t wait to put the Hammer Down.
I am in!!
If…I can kick this damn cold that hit me on the flight over from London…

I’m in and stoked about it. XTERRA brought the big junk of training fun back for me this year.
Having raced Kona 2 weeks earlier, I will need to see what’s left.
Good luck guys! I haven’t been on this site in a long time. I have a friend racing Xterra Maui and came here to see if there is any chatter about the race. This was the only thread I could find. 
I’m here, but would love the trails to dry up!!!
How nasty is it? I’m supposed to pre-ride in the am…

It’s odd, Xterra doesn’t get a lot of love around here. I think this may change though in the next years. It’s simply more raw than road tris, and people will want that.
I’m here on an unrelated vacation, but looking forward to running the 10k on Saturday and my kids will do the fun run. Then of course spectating on Sunday. Should be a lot of fun all around!
The run is super fun, first 5k up hill and the last 500m will make you cry 
I think it’s a just a suffer fest, much harder the most road tri’s but in a fun way laid back way.
What happened to the days when the Kona champion would follow it up with Xterra Worlds in Maui? When did that tradition come to an end?
When Pteridactyls ruled the skys.
They said the trails should be great today if it did not rain over night. Did it rain overnight? I’m not sure, I was sleeping 
It rained hard overnight.
That’s a bummer.
There are still a handful of athletes doubling up, but I honestly think it’s become more of an AGer thing.
I don’t have much desire to do an IM, but I’ve always thought I might like to do the Hawaii double…provided I could finance the trip.
XTerra Maui is on my short list of races I would love to do.
Yep, looking pretty wet this am…
Rained, but at 2:00 it was tracked up and super fast and fun…people this morning, covered in mud. This afternoon I just needed a wipe to clean me bike.
The surf was sweet this morning, the swim should be fun if the whether is the same on Sunday.

I think a lot of people talk a big game. I don’t think a lot of people actually want something really raw. They want something that “looks” raw, hence the recent popularity of running around in the mud.
XTERRA was actually going through some real troubles on the east coast over the last few years. A lot of races have died, and most others are shrinking.
It really is a shame, because XTERRAs are so much fun. It’s a bit of a chicken or egg thing, as I’m not keen on driving 6 hours for sprint-type races of 150 competitors, but at the same time, nobody is going to put on more races when the existing ones are struggling.
