Runs With Coyotes Brilliant, absolutely brilliant! A route PR by 2 and a bit minutes, and an unofficial 2nd place finish, just 35 seconds behind the winner. And run through golden aspen groves and meadows and pine forests, up and down steep mountain trails, beneath a crystal blue Colorado sky. Magic. The only probem was I didn't manage to make it to the start until after the race had started, so began 23 minutes late!!! Still, it was great fun overtaking almost all the field, runner after runner all race long!!!! Best was that even the brutal hill between mile 8 and 9 (the last and the steepest of the race's 4 major climbs, and never before runnable all the way), was perfectly runnable today, all the way to the top. And it seemed shorter too. Yipeeeeeeeee, I can fly! I AM A MOUNTAIN RUNNER! Unaffiliated 1:39:57 1:40:45 1:40:45 57.53
