This was a long course, about 4.5 miles, it included singletrack, ditch bank double tracks, several run ups and downs with barriers and sand. Lots of fun but only time for 3 laps.
A good race in warm weather! It's always nice to visit Tucson in January. The course has minimal climbing and is fast but you need to pay attention, lots of twists and turns. There is about a half mile that is more technical with some bigger rocks and drops that has the majority of the climb.
I did this race with Keith Bushaw. Keith and I did the same number of laps as last year. I felt bad that I didn't go out for the last lap as it dropped us from 9th place to 11th place. I probably had time as the two teams behind us went out and made it.
Kim did the race with Janice W. It was Janice's first ever mountain bike race. They each did three laps.
Kim did the women expert 50+ cross-country race of 13 miles and I did the marathon race which was 43 miles.
A fun fast CX race in the Bosque with a big sand run up!
