“For me, the highlight of the season was seeing so many new racers and finally building a solid group of dedicated volunteers,” said Grimmett. The most notable triathlete of the year was definitely Kyle. He’s such a gifted athlete and seems to get better and better each year, and he’s a super nice guy! On the trail running side, I was really impressed by Emma Kosiak. She’s new to XTERRA this year and is super fast.”The XTERRA 2017-2018 Texas Season opens on April 22nd, 2018 with XTERRA ATX Off-Road Triathlon and Trail Run.
