Colorado Relay: Idaho Springs to Glenwood Springs



Ran the Colorado Relay Friday and into Saturday. It is a 170-mile long relay race from Idaho Springs, Colorado to Glenwood Springs, traversing four mountain passes. Our team, Mountain Madness, ran the course in just under 24 hours. There are 30 legs on the course and each runner runs three of them. I ran legs number 1, 11, and 21. Leg 11 is a pure trail run that gains 2000 feet of elevation to Georgia Pass, 11,500', then loses 2200 feet over some 13.3 miles. I felt very strong and well hydrated. I finished the leg in 1 hour 56 min.
