I went for a nice open-water swim in Pineview Reservoir. This reservoir is large enough for swimming, boating, jetskiing, windsurfing and other water activities.
The first part of the bike course went through a beautiful canyon called Wheeler Creek Canyon.
This course includes a lot of climbing as you go from the reservoir to the ski resort.
Behind me is the mountain of the Snowbasin ski resort where the bike course leads to and where T2 will be. T1 will be next to Pineview reservoir.
The course had a couple of tricky sections, like this one in the picture and a bridge with stair steps that you have to go down at a sharp curve.
Dad and I went a couple miles off-course and did a bit more climbing than was needed, but we were rewarded for our mistake with this view of the valley.
I'm pretty sure that this part is a section of the race course!

This is the very top of the bike leg and the top of the last long climb.
Without the bike and rider blocking your view, you can see Pineview Reservoir at the bottom of the valley where we started our ride!

I'm running on part of the run course. The run course is a very scenic one, it makes a loop on the side of the mountain and is mainly singletrack with short sections of snowcat roads.
I've been racing for every month of the spring and summer, although I'm not the least bit tired of racing I'm still happy to put in some good training hours to prepare for Snowbasin, and then the XTERRA World Championships in Maui.
