Written By Dave "Kahuna" Nicholas Presedent of Xterra

Twas the Night Before XTERRA
And all over the isle
Athletes were worried
Yet somehow they smiled

Ruzafa was hurt
Injured and in pain
But a countryman was there
Eneko Llanos of Spain

Lebrun was fit and ready
Batelier fast and steady
Stoltz always a threat
Michi Weis fast and yet..

A dozen men were fast
Would the Champions last?
Josiah, Olivier, Wealing and Vine
Chris Legh and others were all looking fine

The gals field was full
The women looked strong
But a bet against Dibens
Would surely be wrong

Five hundred others
From all over the world
Came to be champions
On the trails they whirled

Laughing and happy
Maui no ka oi
It's just like Christmas morning
Getting a brand new toy

All of our family
Races fast and tough
But when the race is over
That's just not enough

The party that night
Is a joy to behold
Every guy and gal
Dressed naughty and bold

That's the joy of XTERRA
Compete till you drop
Then party until dawn
Or at least 'till you flop

The Kahuna loves you all
From all over the Planet
Team wishes you the best
Yes, even Janet

So Merry Christmas to you
Say the name as you wish
We'll see you next year. . .
Ride like the wind, run like a deer, swim like a fish
