Sorry I couldn't disagree more. What is great about 3 loops of the same crap? How boring can you possibly make it? Wait, let's do 4 loops next time on the Boulder Peak course. I did the same last week as you did--I was holding my words on the 2nd loop. The problem is they released the new course after sign up/registration was opened, thereby having those like myself, assume they were still on the 2 loop course. At that point I was already all in with the 2017 schedule & that was that. IF they are going to change the course I wish they'd get that in stone before registration goes live. I like that it is earlier this year for heat reasons, but man, 3 loops is really going to suck.

Post edit: I may have been a little too honest above & in hindsight, should comment that at least those involved in putting on the race are putting it on for us & seem to be trying (although not succeeding IMO) at making this a more enjoyable race for all & spectators while keeping costs/impact to the community down from a transportation issue standpoint. While I may not like the new course since released, it's more than I did as far as putting a race of this magnitude on. At least I recognized my stance may be a bit lopsided...
