Why it ran this way

Winner winner: 110.1 mi at 1.88 mi/kWh towing, the best long leg of the trip. US-89 south to Long Valley Junction, UT-14 over the 9,902 ft Markagunt crest past Navajo Lake, then the long descent through Cedar City and down I-15/UT-17 to La Verkin at 3,757 ft, about 6,100 ft of net drop with a light 8 to 10 mph NNW tailwind on the southbound stretch. 2h20m moving at 47 mph, battery 97 F at the stall. Gravity giveth back what Boulder Mountain never got the chance to take.
