Truckee Woman Finishes Baja 1000!

Congratulations are in order to my colleague and fellow Realtor Talya Dodson.   This outstanding athlete managed to finish the Baja 1000 off road race in 33 hours last month.  She reported that her time would have been shorter but she had to stop once to have something fixed on her bike and apparently she got lost in the back country for about an hour.    I suppose there were a couple of additional personal pit stops, she didn’t address that.

The Baja 1000 is a road race that is generally run in the fall of each year in Baja Mexico,  The tradition started  October 31, 1967.  All manner of motorized vehicles participate — Talya’s weapon of choice is a dirt bike.  This year the race started in Ensenada.  It is reported that Talya is only the 2nd woman to finish this race!!!  Kudos to you Talya!

Talya, a “jackie of all trades, master of all”  is currently a Realtor with Keller Williams in Truckee, CA but she has also enjoyed a successful career as a fashion designer.   She has a totally freaky flair for clothing which I much admire.  Besides finishing the race, Talya managed to get herself married this summer in a wedding in Murphy’s, CA.  You would never believe by looking at her wedding pictures that she is the same one in the photos here.

Did I tell you how much I enjoy living and selling real estate in Truckee?  Look at the people I get to work with!!
