115-Place Surge to Top-20 with Strong Late Laps Team Scrambled Legs and Achin' covered 22.01 miles in 9:48:08 (26:43/mile) in the Half Everest. Ten ascents of roughly 1,577 feet each put the climb near 15,770 feet. They finished 20th of 238 overall and 6th in the 3 Person Relay. They improved from 135th at the start to 20th at the finish. Fastest lap was Lap 3 in 44:15; slowest was Lap 6 in 54:42, followed by a late rebound (Lap 9 in 45:45). Gondola rides ranged 7:52 to 10:21, and base-to-start transitions 1:38 to 3:01. Coaching cue: standardize transitions under 2:00 and target 46-48 minute climbs to shave time while maintaining the strong closing push (Lap 10 in 48:35; final 0.11 in 1:01, 9:22 pace).
