2026 XTERRA Borneo Sarawak ✅
First race for this year!
Lucky to be on the podium again, despite many setbacks and disruptions in training this year.
So here’s the break down of the race:
Swim was choppy, water receded abit so had to run abit more, same as last year.
A day prior to the race everyone discovered washed up jelly fish, big ones. Some are as big as 20” roughly.
Luckily these ones don’t sting much at all 😅
Besides that managed to swim faster this year!
On the bike course it was almost similar, fast paced trail with a mix of technical stuff. Definitely slower than last year for me 🥲
Oh ya, it was getting hotttt af too !
This year run course change, no big climb huhu. Elevation gain was 200m only. Fast fast kinda run, avg hr was 179bpm for 1:07hr through mixed terrain and plenty of heat! Definitely less fitter than last year also.
Sad part was I lost P2 at the very last KM. Tried to runaway but cramps on both sides of my calves were trying to go full cramp. I just couldn’t….
Finished in P3 which was quite a blessing still.
Thank you to the crew at Xterra Borneo Sarawak
Congrats to all finishers, very happy to have made new friends and hope to see everyone again next year!
Best xterra especially for those looking to get into cross triathlon/duathlon!
