This race consisted of three loops that all began and ended at a central point that had a well-stocked aid station. The first loop was mostly single track that meandered through lush woods. This was probably the hilliest an most difficult section. The second loop traveled through more open country which was more exposed. The third loop also was more exposed and went through the town of Coon Rapids, then a long, long climb over the last three miles which finally dropped down to the finish. This race really wiped me out. I’m not sure if it was the heat or the hills or a combination of both. It was a well organized race though, and the finisher awards were unique plaques made out of weathered barnwood. They also gave out waterproof drop bags and I received one even though I registered at the last minute.
