Trained hard efforts with only quality miles this past month . Then tapered and included leg work(massage) Thursday. Virtually no activity yesterday ( except body work on others). Showed up fresh and went hard today. Not much air @ 8700' so that with steep inclines, needed every fast and slow twitch muscle fibers to be firing on all cylinders. Had company on the climb on bike, but was able to pull away on the run to gap 2nd place by three minutes. I have not gone THAT hard(or felt THAT pain) in sometime. Jodi did not know what to expect(but it's labeled HAC, or High Altitude Challenge) so she had some inclination!
My goal was to go 100%, race smart, and hope for no mishaps. That recipe delivered and an overall win was the result. Jodi was the first female to cross the line. Ole and his team, and Corey of Coates Cyclery simply provided an awesome event. For those of you who missed it: You missed it!
