Josh Tostado (Tostado) and Monique Merrill (Amazing Grace) won Round 4 of the National Ultra Endurance (NUE) series in Breckenridge, Colorado, July 22.
After five days of thundershowers and inclement weather, race day for the third annual Breckenridge 100 and its little brother the B-63 greeted athletes with cloudless blue skies and only a hint of a breeze. Starting at 6:00 am at the Riverwalk Center in downtown Breckenridge, the racers began their quest to race three distinct cloverleaf style loops among the high alpine terrain of Summit County. Loop one took riders over Wheeler Pass at 12,374 feet and onto the Colorado Trail to traverse the Ten Mile range at 12,500 feet. Total elevation gain for the three loops is 13,010 feet.
Course conditions were ideal, and Tostado, two-time defending champion, was on the start line to take on newcomers Tinker Juarez (Cannondale), Mike Janelle (Tokyo Joe's / X-fusion), and Travis Brown (Trek / FRS). These four separated themselves from the rest of the field early and finished loop one tightly grouped together at about 2'55". It was on loop two, where the racers rode up little French Creek and descended down the infamous flume trails from an era gone by, that Tostado began to distance himself from his competitors. He rode into the Carter Park aid station after loop two carrying a 12 minute advantage over Travis Brown. Stopping only long enough to lube his chain and grab some food, he departed for loop three looking like a man on a mission.

Accomplishing his mission he did, as he set a new course record of 9:05:08, and further solidified his name in the history of this classic race, winning again for the third year in a row. Mike Janelle and Tinker Juarez followed him in at 10:06:10, and 10:08:24 respectively. Paul Clark and Mark Thompson were fourth and fifth.
On the women's side, local hometown favorite Merrill took top honors with a winning time of 10:49:47. She was followed by Kelley Mattingly and Julie Minahan (Jans) in 11:25:59 and 11:41:26 respectively. Erika Tieszen (Giant) and Erin Johnson (BPN) rounded out the top five.
The race's breathtaking terrain, plenty of Colorado singletrack, and unique team format put the Breckenridge 100 and B-63 in a good spot to grow in future years.
