Rachel Climbing Mt. Hood on Two Wheels

Rachel Wray of Team Oregon was the women's duathalon winner. Mt. Hood Hell Climb extreme short course triathalon. 12 miles start to finish, 4800 feet of climbing, 20% Grade, absolutely no outside assistance, just you against the mountain! 1.2 mile swim in cold Trillium Lake, 8.6 mile bike climb to Timberline Lodge, followed by a 2.3 mile run up the mountain to the top of the Palmer Glacier ski lift. Raced in cold, rain, sleet, fog, and thin mountin air by world class athletes; truly an epic debut event! (MHHC 2011 #323 - Version 2)
