Over the Ridgeline Recaps Western States

John Sugden shares some quick recap charts for this year’s Western States race:

Imagine telling someone that three men would go under 14 hours, four under the course record, and none of them would have been named Jim, Kilian, Hans, Hayden, Zach, or Adam?

There will be plenty of debates on how the masterminds (nerds) of our sport so completely misread the men’s field in their predictions ahead of the race, but this is for another time. John charts highlight the way both the men’s and women’s races unfolded. What a fascinating year it was to be on the ground as supposed to glued to the livestream.
