Do Not Race or Do Speedwork Too Often

2012 Leona Divide 50 Preview →
The women’s field has half a dozen with lots of wins at shorter trail races or local 50ks: Nicole Guimarra, Kristina Pham, Shawn Chapley, and Sarah Bird. Normally, I’d omit them, but that’s be a mistake in this case as they have some noteworthy performances.

The district pays a crossing guard to man the crossing all day at 20th street and on 21 street there are lights and cross walks.
