Just one a place on the race! Guess it’s time to run hills. It’s going to be my first time and I’m really looking forward to this ONE HILL.
Anyone going?
I’m talking of the running race, not the bike one.
I’m surprised… no one!!!
Not this year but I’d really like to give it another shot after running it in 2003.
I got into the bicycle hillclimb this year and have been reading up on pacing and moderating the effort over the whole climb. Wish I’d paid more attention to this sort of thing the year I ran it.
My goal this year is to ride it faster than I ran it in 2003.
Good luck and hope for a fair weather day on the rockpile.

I’ve done it twice, had lousy weather both times but then again it is Mt Washington. Definitely get in some hills and some good long runs as part of your training, almost as if you were trainining for a half-marathon since your finish time will likely be close to your stand-alone half mary time.
It’s a great event, enjoy it and good luck!
