HOLY C..... That may have been the toughest race I have had. My body was cramping from the 4 mile mark on. The Course is an absolute killer.
"12k course is on rugged and very hilly single track terrain.total elevation change was GPSed at 3400 feet."
Not sure how to explain that other than it hurts. Up small hills, down small hills climb over some trees, Jump a creek. I can't ask for a better course, I just was not prepared nutritionaly.
Need to find more like this. It hurt but was a blast.
Just to try and rank this against other races here is my equation.
(tot. elevation/Race distance) * 12 = rise in Inches per foot
