Today was the annual Mt. Evans hill climb which is also the state hill climb championships. K8 is now peaking in her fitness for the season and was coming off a 3rd place finish in last weekends Mike Horgan Hill Climb (one she struggled to finish two years ago). Mt. Evans is just about 7,000 vertical feet of climbing in 28 miles finishing at 14,260 feet. Its without a doubt the biggest and highest climb of the road season. She did not sleep well all week so she wasn’t feeling optimistic about being able to keep up the momentum.

Well, she placed 2nd overall, 1st in the Women’s Pro 1-2 field making her this year’s state champion!!! WHOO HAAh! She also took off 8mins 30secs off of her time from last season and swears her performance was due to her new choice performance drink: Pedialyte. Next up Salida…
