Matthew Watson has not raced this year as he has been out with injury and he chose this race to make his comeback. This is a tough trail race with around 3,000 feet of climbing. In the first half of the race, Matt felt good and that he was going well. In the second half of the race, he felt that he battled a bit more. Despite that, he easily won the race with almost a ten minute gap to the second place runner.
What a comeback.
