Triathlon Training in the New River Valley of Virginia

From Anne Clelland:

In a previous post, I mentioned a vision for multisport in the New River Valley of Virginia, including an XTERRA event for Blacksburg, Virginia.  The Draper Mile is a yearly one-mile downhill race in Blacksburg, Vrginia.  For XTERRA training, how about a one-mile uphill Clay Street Climb starting from Main Street in Blacksburg, Virginia?

In the New River Valley of Virginia, whether running or biking, we eat hills for snacks.

The Virginia Triathlon Series 2010 schedule will be posted on December 1, 2009, including the course description and details about the New River Valley Triathlon.

we eat hills for snacks - awesome! we do have some doozies around Blacksburg. Clay St is one; nearby Nellie's Cave Rd is another (a bit longer, and definitely steeper). then there's the backside of Harding Ave, and...

whew. I'm getting winded just thinking about them. and that's just the road hills! =)

I've run Clay and Harding, only biked Nellie's Cave. You're right - all doozies!

Ah, but the bragging rights!

Thank you so much for your comment!
