Powerful Ascent, Fast Descent, Top-5 Overall 4:18:24 for 26.29 miles (9:49 pace), 5th of 918. Start 6303 ft, summit 14062 ft at mile 13.36 in 2:38:12. Early drop to 9th by Ruxton (0.43 in 6:52), then up to 3rd by Barr Camp (1:11:00). From Bottomless Pit to A-Frame paced 17:41-14:54; held 3rd past 2.5-1 mile to go markers (14:08-16:50), reached 2nd at 11.84, summited 3rd (9:09 for final 0.53). Descent opened briefly in 1st at 13.89; then 10:06 to 7:52 to 8:37 down to 17.95, 11:10 to Barr Camp Return, then 5:55 from 18.81-20.67, 6:39 to 23.52, 6:16 to 25.49, and 5:31 for the last 0.80. Finished 5th overall and gender. Coaching: refine technical descending between 13.9-18.8 where position slipped from 1st to 5th, and aim to keep the A-Frame-to-summit paces (16:30-17:23) closer to earlier 14:08-15:22 with focused uphill power and turnover work.
