I hope to make it back next year for either the Hill Climb or Lithia (or both). The Hill Climb looks like something I'd enjoy.double-d Mountain runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01826766263829821909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3950697616886903751.post-13290828517214517022009-11-14T16:08:58.122-05:002009-11-14T16:08:58.122-05:00Great post, Dave!

I was constantly chasing your backside for the first 10 miles or so. I believe that the only reason I ended up just ahead of you at the end is because it is my home course. I have probably run that last 6-7 miles of downhill at least 100 times in training. I knew we had a lot more than 3.2 miles to go when I saw that 23 mile marker and could run the super steep single track with my eyes closed. I went into pure -wait-till-the-last-half mile mode as I knew exactly where it was. I have a feeling next year you will be able to control that part of the course. I know it is quite a trip for you but I think you would do fantastic at the Mt. Ashland Hill Climb http://www.mtashlandrun.com/ in the summer. Last year Joe Gray won it as we have quite a competitive field there. Great Job!

The (relatively) fast times for a course with that much climb have to be attributed to a short course (although it was about 1.2 miles longer than last year).double-d Mountain runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01826766263829821909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3950697616886903751.post-84219442037510354372009-11-10T19:21:27.321-05:002009-11-10T19:21:27.321-05:00Nice race and report Dave.
