Tunitas Creek Personal Best
At mile ~100 in the 2012 Sequoia Century 200K, I set a new personal best on Tunitas Creek, though I know I can beat even that number with a well-rested serious attempt.
One of my ride goals for the Sequoia Century 200K was to show a strong effort on the last climb (prior climbs in the event were as strong or stronger)— in order to establish whether I could hope to do high wattage for the last climb of the Everest Challenge (Rock Creek) late this fall; last year I had stomach and legs cramps which I will avoid by taking proper electrolytes this year.
While the Sequoia Century 200K involves “only” 10,300' of total climbing, EC involves 15,465' the first day. Much harder, but a good preflight nonetheless. I’ll apply the same test to myself on the rigorous Alta Alpina 8-Pass Challenge Double Century.
