This race was a blast - just throwing that out there. The Einstein folks really delivered a great course, and a fun vibe. I had a great time, and suffered a bit on the climbing. Nice mix of sand / dirt / trail / pavement.

St Fattys day was a lot of fun, glad i could make it back for the race. Lots of climbing to be had! Thanks again to Einstein and all the other sponsors for their hard work. Looking forward to next year.

I so wish I could have been there for this inaugural event. Can't wait to hopefully give it a go next year.

Here's my vid. Also a Gomez sighting from Fatbike.com (He's put on a few Fatbike races in Wisconson, I did one last year).

Anyone with a computer, what distance did you have per lap?
My Garmin showed about 2.17 per. Seemed longer to me.

That vid is awesome! I always wondered what it looked like from up near the front and looking BACK at the other riders.
