Meet 15, course 24 - Gold Rush Ultralong Championships
I like ultralongs. This was a good race for me considering lost time as a percentage of the run. I felt like I was flagging at the 60-80% mark. I really need to find a way to pull up some competitive drive at times like this but it was absent here. Most of the lost time was from a couple of weaker route choices, especially in the steeper legs like 9, 10. There was room to artfully cut climb and in other places cut distance without gaining much climb and I chose poorly. Happy and surprised that it was good enough for 2nd in M45
