We'll be doing this time trial again in late August, so you can see how your times compare. The new course is a good mix of steep hiking and some dirt road running, without being so technical that you're being skill-limited.
Great to have such a large group of athletes and coaches out there on the hill! A huge thank you to Chris Daly, Robert Shycon, and Linda Dell for their assistance with timing.
