i'm 215lbs and that 5 mile climb killed me.
i kept sight of the leaders until the top but, once the wind and rollers started across the plateau, the 8-10 leaders were just far enough ahead that our little group of five was no match.
still, i was happy to finish in (or around) top 10 of the cat 5 field.
this was my first race.
