Rocky Ridge ultra half trail race review

My race stats according to Suunto.

A view from North Eagle Peak
Brazen Racing really shows you what they are all about with this race, STEEP hills! I had never run in the Las Trampas Regional Wilderness before but I looked at the elevation profile of this 13.75 mile "ultra" half marathon and knew it was going to be very difficult. Just shy of 4000' of elevation gain. To put that in perspective you would have to run to the top of the Empire State building over 2 1/2 times to cover this much elevation gain. I've run much longer races with the same elevation gain so this shorter race is going to be very vertical.
