Step 2: Run The Tangent On Tight Switchbacks
Lane hits the start of the switchbacks, which offer subtle hills and curvy terrain, all by herself. To some, that could have been nervy. But for Lane, it was just another race.
As Lane worked her way around the course -- which takes two loops through the Valley and twists and turns around the switchbacks -- she knew following the tangent became important. It was the most direct route to the finish and could have separated a course record from one just a few seconds away.
