Holy Climbers Course Batman

Snowmass....words can't describe it- but I'll try. 2300ft of climbing per lap, 12 mile lap X 2. At altitude.
Two and a half hours (if you're lucky) as hard as you can possibly turn the pedals; and my kind of course! Being a climber it is always one of my favorite venues. It's in the middle of summer and always the turning point to where my fitness starts to really be there.
The stage is set......my hotel room. Primed, fueled, and rested. (Me-- not the hotel room)

This year was no acception and I clocked my personal fastest time ever-- 2:29. That was good enough for 11th place in the SemiPro field, and within 3 minutes of top 5. That's pretty big news for me - within the top ten, or with reach of top ten is a huge result. AAaaaand I recovered well enough to drive home without puking.
The section of the course that traverses the Government Trail heading towards Aspen...

It was friggin dusty. I was mistaken for an Ewok after it was over.

Next race: Telluride. XC and Hillclimb- yeehah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
