As always, a more formal race report will be posted later, but figured I'd give a quick update from the Sacramento airport as I'm sitting here playing on the Internet!
The race couldn't have been more perfect. The weather was great, the body was responding well and we had the best support group to date! I came out of the water in 3rd then quickly moved up to the front within the first mile of the bike. I had a great groove going on the big climb and felt amazing throughout the rest of the ride. I had a 10+min lead coming off the bike so decided to just cruise the run which was super fun. Great day all around for everyone as Branden had a kick ass 5th place finish, Ignatz came in 9th and Will rocked a solid 12th.
The best part, of course, was the evening of madness at the bar with the XTERRA clan and all the crazy athletes. You can see more ridiculous pictures on the 'My Pics' link on the right :)

Woooohooooo congrats, superstar! You're coming to Maui, right? I want to come spectate :)
Nice job Kummer....
Now, all you have to do is figure out what Halloween costume you';ll put together for Maui
E, long-time lurker here. It was fun seeing your results this year. You beat my boss, MK, at Buff Creek and I gave him a hard time and showed him your blog and the "rivalry" was born. He blamed it on pneumonia. He was pumped to pass you early on the bike at Eldora, but then got hit with a penalty, so you won again, up 2-0 over MK. He got you at Ogden barely and then again barely at Tahoe, but was worried that you were closing in on him on the run. When he comes back from an Xterra now, there are random co-workers who measure his performance based on how he did vs. his "rival" Erin! Unfortunately he's done for the year, so the tie remains. Have fun in Maui, go to Hana and the Seven Sacred Pools for a swim.
