Race #2: 100 Lakes

Our second TrackMe360 Mountain-O takes place on the Western slopes of the Sierra, near Yuba Gap off Hwy 80 between Auburn and Truckee.  Three courses of varying degrees of challenge (short, medium and long) have been designed to showcase the best the area has to offer, with moderate vertical gain and significant cross country travel.  The venue is nothing short of spectacular.  It is not as alpine as the high Sierra, but is just about ideal for Mountain-O, with lots of intricate topographic features and many lakes sprinkled throughout the course – water will not be a problem here!  There is snow still on the course, but it will gradually disappear (except on north facing steep slopes) through the month of June, and it is totally dense and consolidated and easy to walk and run on without snow shoes.  In many cases, the snow makes for easier traveling.  The long course will be a “big mountain course”, meaning fewer checkpoints, with route choice and route finding the primary challenge, not navigation per se. All courses feature a short (< 75 yds) swim for time advantage (make sure to keep the GPS logger dry – it is not waterproof!).  Depending on the day, this may prove to be a refreshing option, or a mental hurdle to decide
