cool! You know, I have done this race twice as a co-ed duo in years past, so I know the first “leg” of the race very well. I will study the parts of the second half, and I totally know what you mean about the Canyons part. I know that trail well, and can see how Ambush could be a deal breaker if you are blown. I will take this race slowly and be careful to not worry about anyone else. I have been looking through your libraries of training and also looking at early morning race starts, preperation with sleep, hydration and so on…..I am really excited for the challenge, and a place to start so that next year I can really prepare.
Thanks for all your help. I will for sure report on my experience!
