Socorro 100 Socorro NM

I think this track tends to be the least favorite track. On Saturday there is a hill climb competition up a long steep sand hill. The track has some leg killing / energy draining deep sand woops, some ridge top trails with hard pack woops, quite a few elevation changes, some arroyos with large rock, a few roads that are covered deep imbedded rocks or lots of loose rocks, and did I mention the rocks? This is a desert mountainous area where you can find yourself going up and down between the hills, The angles are steep with elevation change about 100 to 200ft the faces are hard pack and sometimes covered with rock. crossing between the hills is not a smooth transition but rather a sharp V. As much as this race is a competition is also a personnel challenge that you are glad you took when you finish. Very few people look forward to this race but all are glad when it is over.
