Here I am at the beginning of the race. Notice there are only 2 people ahead of me!
Here I am at the finish, almost 10 miles and 1100 vertical feet later!
Well, I managed to move up one spot from my first two races to 12th! This course was really tough at first, as there was a brutal climb up corner canyon that seemed to go on forever! I was in third place before starting the climb, but my weak little legs couldn't sustain that pace forever, so I fell pretty far behind. I managed to overtake a few of them on the singletrack on the way back down though. Overall, I was about 10 minutes behind the winner, which I feel was pretty good since I was about 20 minutes behind the winner in my first race, and 18 behind in my second. So I feel that I am continuing to improve. Also, congrats to Mike, in his first race, he managed to place 12th in the 19-29 class!
This is the altitude gain for the race!
