**7/23/21 Update: We have a late entrant. I’m predicting someone will crack the top-ten on both the men’s and women’s side this weekend, but how deep into the top ten? Who knows. She can win races like Western States and Lake Sonoma but then also throw down on a real vertfest like Speedgoat. The #2 all-time result from Steph Howe is also worth noting. I don’t see that time ever getting beat! Of course it will someday but she must have ran out of her mind that day. On the women’s side, Anita Ortiz, wow, there’s an outlier performance. So yeah, Anton threw down, ran that sucker faster than Kilian. The course has changed a bit over the years but I found Sage’s 2013 Strava data from the same year and that course is definitely on par with what we’ll see this weekend. And of course I can’t go on without focusing your gaze on that Tony Krupicka time from 2013.

When you look at a lot of the top times, the race definitely feels like a throw-back to another era.
