At 4,500 feet, there’s not a lot of oxygen. Add snow, ice, mud, cold temperatures and a very competitive field, and you have one of the toughests races available. Running very strong all year, coming to Reno would be the ultimate test of Justine’s athletic drive. Her mental focus and physical stamina was evident throughout the race and all the way to a very strong finish.
