| Notes: | Waxing with LF moly undercoat or HF4BW top coat will repel dirt and improve break-a-way speed. HF top coat wax will be better with the humidity that we have and repel dirt as well. Minimal structure will trap less dirt. | |
Tour of Anchorage

Apply LF Moly as a base to repel dirt and improve break a way speed, scrape and brush, then apply HF Blue/HF Red mixed 1:1, scrape and brush. Finish by rotocorking JetStream Blue/JetStream Red brush with a dedicated nylon polishing brush and polish with a thermopad. The Jetstream will improve glide and durability while repelling dirt.
Pace yourself to finish strong. Last year I bonked and the hills from the coastal trail up to the finish were brutal. Take plenty of fuel and fluid early in the race. Waiting to long will catch up with you. Have fun and finish strong.
