XTERRA Black Diamond 2009
Consultancy Report Excerpt
Whether new to the fun and challenge of the off-road triathlon experience or a seasoned veteran, this is a stellar event aimed at all comers. It is truly a “Five-Diamond” quality race and we wonder if that is unfairly critical of the diamonds! The friendly enthusiastic team from Raise the Bar has clearly put thought and care into the preparation and execution of a stern test of fitness. The race takes place in a quiet lake community that embraces the XTERRA vibe for a day. The course is a pure adrenaline-charged challenge: safe, secure and immaculately cared for. We guarantee you won’t miss the jumbo-tron, the crowded parking, the grumpy displaced neighbors or long lines for everything from packets to shirts to port-a-potties because they don’t exist here. Racing at this event provides each participant with every element of what triathlon is all about.
