BEAVER CREEK Sam Osborne and Samantha Kingsford have an ongoing wager going into every triathlon they enter: lowest result gets stuck cleaning the bikes afterward.
That bet was a push on Saturday at Beaver Creek. Both New Zealanders, who started dating 10 years ago in college, claimed wins in the men’s and women’s elite divisions as Xterra mountain racing returned to Avon and Beaver Creek after a year hiatus brought on by the pandemic.
Defending champion Josiah Middaugh, 42, of EagleVail, who’d claimed six of the seven previous Xterra triathlons on the punishing mountain course he’d help design more than a decade ago, took third, coming in just behind Sam Long, 25, of Boulder.
