Jeff's Sporting Life: June 2025

Saturday June 14th, I finished 17th place out of 19 in the Expert Men category Results. It took me 1 hour & 20 minutes to complete 3 laps and a total of 12 km's long. Lap #1 = 24 minutes, Lap #2 = 26 minutes & Lap #3 = 29 minutes. The total Elevation gain was 1,352 feet. My average heart rate was 182 bpm and max was 193 bpm.

I finished -2 laps as it was 5 laps. This was an extremely difficult & technical course. There was lots of climbing every lap and really steep sections. There was a couple of black diamond downhill sections.

The temperature was 17 deg C. I would like to thank all the volunteers and ANMBRA for putting on such a great event.

Sunday June 1st, I finished 14th place out of 21 in the Men aged 40-49 category and overall 116th out of 232 Results. It took me 1 hour & 5 minutes to complete 1 lap and a total of 8 km's long. The total Elevation gain was 486 feet. My average heart rate was 182 bpm and max was 196 bpm.

I felt good today and did my best. I really enjoyed the course because in the first 3.5 kms it was on the gravel trail so it let everyone spread out before we did the black diamond single track trail. At the 6.3 km mark there was over 100 hundred stairs to climb up.

The temperature was 15 C. I would like to thank all the volunteers and 5 Peaks for putting on such a great race.
