Alex and Zach made up some ground in the GC and had an awesome day despite searing conditions.
40º / 104º temperatures made for a scorching day that even caused the race organizers to prematurely cancel the stage for amateurs that were still on course at 2:00pm local time!
They are looking forward to slightly cooler temps tomorrow, and looking to sweep up those that went too deep in the first few days.
