Of all the stories being told here today, the 3A story is probably the most interesting. That’s because a significant chunk of 3A split off and ran in the 4A/5A races today at St. Vrain. On account of this, it’s fascinating to see how those who “ran up” fit into the picture when all of 3A is put back together again.
It’s worth noting that temperatures were a bit higher for the 4A/5A races. That factor can be counted on to slow down those individuals and teams who ran up to 4A/5A, though the difference was not great enough that we’d expect massive changes in time.
