Eventually the legs turned to jello. Packed it in before the "last run" syndrome kicked in ("I was on my last run when I fell and blew out my knee/hit the tree/Etc) and headed the rest of the way over the peak. Spent the next 45 mins at 8800' cutting new tracks on the XC boards.



Figured that was a 200 TSS day. Yesterday rode up the Stelvio. Big week. It was good.
