If you came out and raced you had to love it!  The coarse was great and the track prep and markings were excellent.  The coarse was 7.5 miles of constant change in terrain from rocky single track to the wide open motocross track with sand washes and a mild endurocross section thrown in for good measure.  I have raced the 12 hours of Glen Helen and this was as much fun and ran well for their first endurance competition.  The coarse was almost all completely watered and held up well to the punishment of some 55 teams/riders for 6 hours.   I didn't find any problem areas like bottle necks or areas too difficult for C riders and though we raced the expert class, there didn't seem to be anyone stuck anywhere on the coarse. Hats off to the guys who signed up for the ironman class!
