Fun Times in Portland, Spokane & Coeur d'Alene

After arriving in Portland on Monday morning, Will and I got picked up, had a bite to eat then headed right out to Hagg Lake to pre-ride the XTERRA Portland course. Although I was completely exhausted and have a hard time training right after traveling, it was still super fun with lots of good laughs. You can check out all the great footage here. That night, we headed to a cool bar to give a presentation to the Portland Tri Club where we might have brought some roadies over to the off-road world!!!

Tuesday was full of training and another presentation at the Gecko Triathlon Club. Wednesday was a bit more chill with an easy swim in the morning and a 'fun run' with the Ironheads Triathlon club in the afternoon. We topped off the evening with a delicious BBQ at our homestay's parent's place and lots of good conversation.

Justin, Matt, Will and myself packed our four bags and four bikes in a small Subaru and drove from Portland to Spokane early Thursday morning.

After arriving, we dropped our stuff off at Ms. Phaedra's (another Timex athlete) and jetted out to the XTERRA Northwest Cup race course to pre-ride. Check back on Erin & Will's Adventures soon...the helmet camera video will be up!
