We skied Dyer Mountain, 13,855 ft., for a third time, as part of the course of the Father Dyer Skimo Race in Leadville.
Elk Mountains Grand Traverse

12 Hours of Sunlight
Our race ended here, when Christy finished her 10th lap. She lost no time beginning the rehydrating process.. Saturday was the Sunlight Endurance Challenge, a.k.a. the 12 Hours of Sunlight.

And since you never go out as hard on training days as you do when it’s a real race, we figured it was the right thing to do. Sure, we could have spared ourselves some suffering by opting for the recreational...
