Why it ran this way

Held the Hall-of-Fame crown for three weeks until the Bryce-to-La Verkin descent took it on Day 29. SW tailwind at 25 mph gusting 33 on the I-40 east diagonal, two summits (Tijeras Pass + Clines Corners 7,085 ft), and 3,034 ft of net descent into Tucumcari. The conditions stacked; gravity stacked harder in Utah.
