I had an amazing Triple Bypass Ride experience on August 20, 2022 covering 110-miles from Evergreen to Vail - going over 3 mountain passes with 10,000+ feet of ascent!
Huge thanks to Team Evergreen and the Triple Bypass Ride volunteers and planners for making it such a great event! It made my 3095 training miles since January worth it.
I started the ride at 4:37am and finished 9 hours and 8 minutes later in Vail where my husband Theo was waiting for me at the Finish Line.
Checkout photos below from the Triple Bypass and from my training rides along the course, as well as an overview of my training schedule and an overview of nutrition, hydration and clothing used for the ride.
