The hardest race I have ever done. I knew this was challenging but didn't know how hard the last three miles were. Overall the race management was amazing, they did everything they could to take care of us on the mountain that I felt safe if anything were to happen to me someone would get to me with a few minutes depending on what part of the mountain I was in. The aid stations were stocked with everything you need...except one stop were a bear ate some of it the night before. If you are up for a challenge this race is for you, just be mindful that altitude will affect people in different ways so definitely try it once before the race.

There were three cut off marks and if you made each of them you can finish the race. The only issue is that the last part of the race I had about two hours and it took way more due to altitude sickness. I still had a time even thought I didn't make the 6:30 cut off but it was labeled OCO (over cut off time) thus not a finisher. I would like to see an adjustment in the rules (personally) that if you make it to a-frame that you can have a finish no matter your time. But that's just me, I don't count it on my "books" since I didn't finish but it was an accomplishment. Still a great race and recommend it.
