Comments:

nice course. plenty of downhill mixed in with beautiful scenery around Durango.
What would you do differently?:

put more miles on the shoes I used prior to race day. Sock bunched and was rubbing and I had a pretty good blister before I figured out what was going on. Pay a little more attention to my feet earlier as rearranging my sock may have prevented the blister. go out a little slower as I really had to push the last 2 miles.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

weather, the cold at the start made warm-up difficult. pain from blister

Event comments:

Lots of fun. Great post-race party downtown Durango. Highly recommended. I'll hopefully "Do the Double" next year with the trail run on Saturday and the road race on Sunday.
