Mile 19.00-20.00 is the first of probably the two toughest miles of the course. After dropping about 30 feet the first 1/4 mile, "Hill 3" begins at Walnut Street at 19.25. This hill is about 1/2 mile and climbs 64 feet, topping out at Cedar Street at 19.75. You then drop about 20 feet to "the wall" at 20.00
