Not a great race but not a bad race. I wasn't very happy with my climbing today. I was
however very happy with my descents. Knee was great all day even with all the rocks to
run over. I hoped to run low 4's today but I at least beat 4:30. Course was harder than
I expected. I did a training run in Leadville but it didn't include Ball Mountain or
Mosquito Pass due to snow. So most of the run I didn't know what to expect. If I
go back next year I will know what to expect. I know I can do better. Tough field
this year I thought I would have a chance at a age group award but wasn't even close.
Time to move on I suppose races next 2 weekends. Hopefully wont be too sore after
this one. My back is very sore already. Hope that gets better quick.
