Last year’s third-place finisher Linsey Corbin moved from the field to the sidelines after getting a flat while heading into Lake Mead National Park, less than 10 miles from the start. Corbin says it was her first flat in a race since 2007 and the first time she didn’t pack a flat kit. She dropped out of the race and immediately turned into super spectator, supporting her fellow athletes by cheering wildly alongside coach Matt Dixon on the run course. She remains optimistic, noting that Kona is her ultimate goal this year.
