This was a really fun course! It looks so different in the summer. This is my winter playground where I like to snowboard! This was a HILLY 5k with about 400m of cumulative gain. The course was tough but for me it was easier than Arctic Valley. The soft surface keeps your legs from getting beat up too. The first 1500 runs on the trails at the bottom and I just sandbagged this part intentionally and ran in 4th place knowing I'd go to work on the climbs. That's just what I did, halfway into the first climb, I had worked my way up and just had to not get caught on the downhills. I'm a better climber than descender believe it or not. Climbing is fun :) At the top heading into the final descent, I had a decent lead but just had to haul ass to the bottom and not get caught. I managed to pull that off for the win and I would definitely do this one again next year. It's a super fun course. Up and down up and down repeat.... It's for a good cause too- treatment for substance abuse.
