hey ts and cm, good discussion here. that's true about equipment and line choices - i guess it'd require good inspection of two different courses that way. i'd imagine warm-up would also be super critical for such a short effort too - no chance of…

I don't know that you'd really prepare all that differently. You'd be pretty tapered at that point so your short term power should be good. It would be good to do some ~12 min efforts from a specificity standpoint but physiologically your fitness fo…

dave sheek tried to seal the challenge tires a while back, and based on the pic I saw, i trust him that it's a no go. it basically fell apart, and ate up the skinwall polyester casing. ask him to post a pic. it's not a nylon casing - perhaps the thi…
