I ran my last trail run in India in 2013. 10 years and a few road half-marathons later, on this trail, I felt like I was born yesterday. Nature showed up in profound ways in the 21kms of woods, springs, and uncharted territories. And I had to find humility to finish the run that tested the different principles of Chi Running that I had followed in my road runs. I hope to remaster those Chi Running skills, return to this trail someday, and run without running out of myself.

The organization was close to nature as well: warm and kind volunteers, generous supply of water/electrolyte as well as snacks, and grounded encouragement to make the race my own.

The only detail that threw me off my confidence was the ‘cupless race’ detail that I had missed until the day before. However, I’m glad I worked around it and hope to come back with more preparation and curiosity.

Thank you!

This was a great run to fine tune my running practice – Chi Running. It was also a great bonding experience with the city as my partner and I ran through the loved parts of San Francisco.
While the run was pain-free and smooth, the aid stations had both the electrolyte and water served in white cups. I had to take a Gu gel from my partner to prevent a salt crash at the 9th mile since I was running on just water.
