Performance:

Course: This was a mountain bike course. First mile was paved uphill including carrying bike up set of stairs of overpass, probably about 30 stairs or more total by my estimation, (didn't count-ha). That is something I didn't train for! Second mile was trail uphill. Total elevation gain by GPS around 600 feet. Some single track, some technical areas, some real steep, walking areas. Course is claiming 8 mile, I think it was only about 5 1/2 to 6

Course: Short 2/10 mile up hill then slow sloping down for 1/2 mile then nice hill down for 1/2 or more then flat and last mile was all uphill, with some pretty good pitches, ugh! First two miles were somewhere around 10/mile last mile was slow. By GPS course was about 2.25 mile?
