The four days of the 35th Hotter ’N Hell races started off with the lowest temperatures in the past four years of the event — temperatures that gave the 100-mile-race its name. Though the ‘cool’ temperatures helped with the race, the rain during the men’s race on Aug. 26 posed a problem for MSU cyclists who found themselves avoiding some of the wrecks that took place.
Despite the wrecks, all of the cyclists participating in the races on Friday and Saturday said they had fun competing. While they may have not placed what they hoped to, the cyclists said it was all for experience, and to gear themselves up for the track cycling championships in three weeks.
“Last year when I competed in this race, it was my first race in America,” said Josh Buchel, accounting and finance sophomore and a native to Johannesburg, South Africa. “This year, I’m competing in the races on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, but I’m focusing on the track cycling championships in three weeks. I’m busy training for that.”
Another cyclist training for championships is Hannah Ross, a 2016 graduate with a master’s in exercise physiology and now a continuing student.

Ross, though she turned professional in Europe over the summer, has not always been a cyclist. She swam for 17 years and due to her skill, she was soon a part of a program that takes swimmers that can run a certain time and trains them to become a tri-athlete.
Ross decided, however, when she was at school to become a cyclist for the team — and that is what she has done for the past two years.
“This is my third fall with the team. I’ve been in this race before, too, and on the first race, I always get second. The first year I raced Hotter N Hell, I didn’t do well. Last year I got second,” she said. “This year I’m hoping for first in Saturday’s race.”
Though she placed second in the race on Friday, she wasn’t disappointed. Indeed, she may have been more disappointed with a third place time of 2:56 in the women’s open on Saturday, in which Emily Newsom of Elevate won first with a time of 2:54:20 and Tracy Carrington of Elevate placed second with 2:55:59.
“I’ve been getting back into the races. It’s been a really long summer. Especially since I went pro in Europe, where I was on a plane every other week,” Ross said. “I was in over 50 races this summer. Going pro was pretty rough.”
As she returns to training in Texas, she finds herself excited for the championships that are coming up.
“Championships will be really fun,” she said. “I”m looking forward to them.”
Cycling director Charlie Zamastil said he is confident about the championships; especially since he has won eight championships in the five years that he has been director.
“I love to win. I think we’re toe-to-toe with anyone in the country. I feel really strong about the championships,” he said. “We did well last year when we were half our size and the oldest rider was only older than a sophomore. We’ve won 39 total championships in the past 26 years — so I’m very confident.”
While other cyclists like Kyle Anderson, Pablo Cruz, John Paul Blanton and Buchel said they are all excited for the championships, they were also very excited about Hotter ’N Hell — their home race.
“This was my first time in maroon and gold, so I was wondering how it would go,” Anderson, business management junior, said. “This was also my first time racing for the school. The team plan was just to get up there, we were up against some really fast guys.”
Along with a fast race, the team was faced with more than a few wrecks due to the rain and tight corners. Through this inconvenience, Cruz placed 13th out of the 30 or so men that finished, even though there were more than 60 contestants. On Saturday, he placed ninth with a time of 3:51:31.
Cruz races for Team Arapahoe Resources, his season team, but he races with the school for collegiate races or mandatory team races like Hotter N Hell.
“I felt pretty good and excited to start my home race, and I helped my club team, as I placed 13th,” Cruz, exercise physiology sophomore, said. “On Saturday, I placed ninth. It was a tough race like every year, but I’m happy to be in the top ten again like last year. This was my first race in Texas and I ended up 10th.”
Cruz met Zamastil while in Europe, where Cruz was racing full time, though he is a native to Honduras. He agreed to come to the school and race at the same time as he was attending. While he has had to adjust, Cruz explains that it was not as hard as he thought it would be.
“Even if it was a completely different environment than what I’m used to, I have been enjoying it,” he said. “I have always been at home with hills and mountains.”
Blanton, an accountant junior, has also been riding for several years.
“I started riding with my dad and it was just a sort of natural progression. I was no good at baseball, so I rode instead,” he said. “I competed in the events of this weekend to have fun. The team did well, and I’m glad I was a part of it, because this will be my last race for awhile.”
Blanton will not be racing for several months because of surgery he has scheduled for October.
For relatively new riders, like Buchel, this weekend’s races were the start of an exciting season.
“We should come home with national jerseys when we’re at championships,” he said. “I’m very excited about it. The championships are a great atmosphere. I’m in a country away from home, but it’s not very nerve-wracking. The team treats me like family.”
Anderson proved that the team is a family, not just with the support that he showed to those in the race, but to the drive that he displayed.
“At championships, we have got to get him stars and bars,” he said of Buchel.
Hotter ’N Hell 2016 — not so hot this year
The Hotter ’N Hell race is known for being one of the nation’s largest, one-day road races, and 100-degree-plus temperatures. This year, however, the more than 10,000 cyclists didn’t find the temperatures to be so unbearable.
