Comments: Good race - I'd do it again. Beautiful high altitude singletrack with great views. This course is no joke, that's for sure. I wouldn't have finished if I had tried to do this ride a year ago - it's a tough tough course. I finished with 5,000 ft of climbing for the day, and that's all above 9.500 feet altitude. When I was picking a training plan the coach gave me advice to follow a 50 miler training plan because this race is like racing an easy 50 miler, and I think she was right.
