Ep. 168 ~ Hannah Simon, Bikepacking Triple Crown Completed!

For the final episode in this series, we catch up with Hannah Simon after finishing 3rd at the Arizona Trail Race last month. The AZT was the last race in a three race series dubbed the Bikepacking Triple Crown. Prior to that she tied for 3rd at Tour Divide in June, followed by a 6th place finish at the Colorado Trail Race in August.

The Triple Crown is the hardest and most prestigious accomplishment that our sport has to offer. By completing the Triple Crown, Hannah became one of only 6 women to have ever completed this challenge. Not only that, but her time was good enough to have the record for the 3rd fastest female, and she beat the previous FKT by 28 minutes, a record that stood since 2015.

Hannah's Triple Crown, by the numbers:

Tour Divide 3rd Place (tied) 2,745 miles 18d 11h

Colorado Trail Race 6th Place 530 miles 6d 8h

Arizona Trail Race 3rd Place 800 miles 11d 11h

In total Hannah would ride 4,075 miles in 36d 6h, making her the 3rd fastest female to every complete the Bikepacking Triple Crown.
