Ran up a near vertical ski slope pulling on flowers to keep from tipping over backwards and then crawled downhill swearing the whole time.  Fell 5 times. This was dumb. If I hadn't won a pair of Salomon shoes, I would have totally hated this!

But seriously there was 1400 ft of climbing from mile 1.5 to 2.5 and then over 1100 ft loss coming down from baldy in a HALF mile. I wouldn't even ski that slope. Dumb and dangerous with boulders tumbling down towards me. You know how you do something like this and you hate it and then tomorrow you're like, I totally want to do that again. That won't happen here.

Great description of the race.

Despite all that, you ran a great race.

That's an intense altitude with intense incline
