Race Report ~ Mountain States Cup
Mountain States Cup – Crested Butte, CO – June 17-21, 2009
Day 1: (Wednesday before race weekend)
Went up the hill in the late morning to ride the mountain and found out that the race course was already taped! Awesome! I can practice the race run all week long! First run down the hill and, to my astonishment, I realize that I’m way up in elevation (10,500’). Even a relaxed inspection run was a workout. Same elevation as Angel Fire and Mammoth Mountain, but my lungs were complaining.
On to a steak dinner and a good night’s rest and lots of hydration.
