Race Results: Xosize Race 3 - Elwood
This was the second race in as many weekends, but one that I was quite looking forward to since it was also my first enduro format tri — it’s basically the same distance as a normal sprint race, but done in halves, so you do two swims, two bikes, two runs… and five transitions. Pretty good fun.

All up, I was pretty happy with the way things turned out (and I’m pretty sure that my 19th place in my age group today is my first ever top-20 finish). While not my fastest race ever, I really enjoyed the change from a straight-up, regular triathlon. The big thing that sticks out from this race (similarly to my last couple of races, to be honest) is that I really need to do some more work on the bike.
