Stay relaxed and just focus on own breathing.

Felt pretty good. Hadn't rode that long in two years or done any hill work. Seven people passed me at the beginning. I ended up passing 19 for a +12 exchange.
One serving carbo pro.
Two waters.
What would you do differently?:

Rode the course the next day again. Would have pushed harder in the first 3/4. Was worried about the hills and the killer run at the end.

Comments:

Toughest run I have ever done - in training or a race. Did not get to look at course prior to race. VERY steep hills (up an down) and lots of trail running. I was happy with my performance. Lots of people were walking the hills. I started to after a bit on the narrow trail sections. Passed 13, no one passed me.
Water and HEED at every station except the last.
What would you do differently?:

Not walk - could have powered through but there was so much unknown for me with this course that I didn't want to bonk.
Post race
Warm down:

Stretch, change, massage, eat and attend awards.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of training. Lack of hills. Lack of altitude. Started at 7600' and went up.

Event comments:

Great race. Beautiful location. Support was awesome. No long lines for anything - potties, massage or food.
