Luckily my winter training is not an issue. I have an awesome group that I will be joining for the winter month to keep my fitness top notch. Exactly, I really love my cycling, but sometimes the running is easier to squeeze in. But I am grateful for living in a relatively safe neighbourhood so sometimes I do night rides in my area. Also, the other plus point of running is a few of my friends don't cycle and runs. So now I can join them from time-to-time for a session to catch up. I would really like to do the Xterra next year. I would just need to work on my swimming because I cannot swim to save my life...
