Early Lead Seized, Summit Controlled, Rapid Descent to Victory 3:54:07 for 26.29 miles (8:54/mi), 1st of 918. Advanced from 15th at the start to 1st by 0.43 mi (2:46) and held it. Summit reached at mile 13.36 in 2:22:24, topping out at 14,063 ft after ~7,759 ft of gain. Also 1st overall in the 2024 race listed. To Barr Camp: 6.68 mi in 57:57 (8:40/mi). A-Frame split: 1.52 mi in 21:17 (14:00/mi). Above treeline (miles 10–13): paces 13:26–16:19. Descent momentum built: 1.86 mi at 5:25/mi (20.67–22.53), next 2.85 mi at 6:22/mi, then 1.97 mi at 6:02/mi, closing 0.80 mi at 5:12/mi. Coaching notes: refine uphill rhythm from A-Frame to summit to trim the 16:19 segment; on the return, target smoother turnover from 17.95–18.81 mi (8:16–10:29) to accelerate sooner.
