Tracen took the challenge and competed in the High Unitas 80 mile road race. This is no ordinary race, it is one of the hardest events he has done this year. The starting elevation is about 6000 ft, the highest point of this climb will have you at 10,700+ ft. The courses first 30 miles has you constanley climbing. Once you get to the top of Bald Mountain Pass you start to decend, it is fast and fun(reaching speeds of 49.8 mph) !
The weather was horrible, it rained more then it shined, the only plus was the tail wind heading to Evanston. This was really a tough race and yet Tracen loved it! He was amazed at the beauty of the High Unitas. He finished the race in 3 hrs 46 mins(unofficial time) and averaged a speed of 20.4 mph. Tracen can't hardly wait to do it again next year! I was so proud of him and loved being his support crew:)
