\n

On the streets of Skagway is where it all start,<\/p>\n

This leg is one of the steepest parts<\/p>\n

Mile 1 starts out with a bang<\/p>\n

Time to see if The Roadies can hang<\/p>\n

\n

The Summit of White Pass set in your sights<\/p>\n

Leg 2 takes us to high elevation and heights<\/p>\n

It may hurt but no negative thoughts will shroud<\/p>\n

When you see the checkpoint up in the clouds<\/p>\n

\n

The Princess Leg many may call this<\/p>\n

Leg 3 checkpoint gives you pancakes and sausage!<\/p>\n

The miles downhill pass as you bust \u2018em<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll see ya right after Canadian Customs<\/p>\n

\n

We\u2019re in Canada now, oh look there\u2019s no rain<\/p>\n

Leg 4 rolls through some gorgeous terrain<\/p>\n

So many mountains, so many lakes<\/p>\n

You know this is worth all of the aches<\/p>\n

\n

It\u2019s really late now, who\u2019s still awake?<\/p>\n

Pitch black, Leg 5 winds along Tutshi Lake<\/p>\n

10 miles behind you, downhill is in order<\/p>\n

As you bring us across the Yukon Border<\/p>\n

\n

At 16 miles this leg is the longest<\/p>\n

Leg 6 you got this! Crossfit\u2019s made you the strongest!<\/p>\n

Over halfway complete, Roadies still on their feet<\/p>\n

Oh shoot you\u2019re about to hand it to me!<\/p>\n

\n

It\u2019s early, daybreak on the horizon<\/p>\n

Leg 7\u2019s beauty a soul will enliven<\/p>\n

Emerald Lake\u2019s splendor over one last crest<\/p>\n

Do it, don\u2019t falter, and give it your best<\/p>\n

\n

Some breakfast and coffee your adrenaline races<\/p>\n

12 hilly miles, Leg 8 puts you through all of the paces<\/p>\n

You did this for you and nobody else<\/p>\n

You should be so very proud of yourself<\/p>\n

\n

We\u2019ve ran 87 miles, camaraderie is tight<\/p>\n

We know we will sleep very well tonight<\/p>\n

Leg 9 winds towards the end of race<\/p>\n

Think about beer and keep up your pace!<\/p>\n

\n

Along the banks of the Yukon you hit city limits<\/p>\n

Leg 10 closes out the final miles and minutes<\/p>\n

It\u2019s almost over, time for beer and the dance<\/p>\n

Now finish the race but don\u2019t poop your pants!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
