I put some serious training in for this race. The journey leading to the race was pretty epic with stupid hot and crazy cold days in the hills above Corona. Prepared I was and ready to tackle the beast. All went according to plan. Then I had a stumble and Holy Jim owned me. Unlike AC, I will definitely be back for revenge. The event was extremely well ran and the support incredible. Congrats to Steve for a stellar finish and a hard earned buckle and a huge thanks again to my wonderful wife Taylor for being there and putting in her entire weekend to attempt to get me to the finish line. Love!
