Gap Training Advice for Barry Roubaix

curious for those having ridden the race what tires is everyone running?

I am doing the 100 mile race, however it appears the gravel there is very hard packed (mostly) like here in Ohio with a few random crappy spots. I was thinking about running a terreno 37 zero or maybe a 38 terreno dry (our team is vittoria affiliated). thoughts?

Aside from equipment, training wise I have just completed build sustained power mid volume and hit 330 ftp (4.5-4.6 wt/kg). I am going to hit a modified high volume sustained power build now for 8ish weeks mixing in some racing and outdoor club events. I did a 54 mile gravel race here in Ohio recently with around 5500 delta feet of elevation. Everything here is punchy short steep climbs, and from the sounds of it so is Barry, which suits me fairly well to get over and stay in a pack nicely.

I think for Barry best bet is sweet spot and more sweet spot and hopefully you are getting in some v02 work to prep for the hang on for dear life surges.
