Brandon Miller

Brandon Miller from Calgary, Alberta won his entry to TransRockies by winning The Moab Run the Rocks, a 3 Day Sister Race, so he was no stranger to trail domination.  Brandon has done very well in races with lots of elevation gain so he was right his element going up and over the many challenging climbs of the beautiful Ortholite TransRockies 6 day stage race.  Day 1 was a nice rolling adventure, but day 2, the climbing began by going from Vicksburg, CO up and over Hope Pass to Leadville.  Brandon ran his 13 miles with 3500 feet of climbing, which all took place in about 5 miles, in 1/3 of the time it took me.  ha-ha.  Enjoy his story and race recap.
