This was the first trail run I ever ran, and it happened to be in July in South Carolina. It was already in the 80s when we started running and the constant up and down of the technical single-track trail made for an unforgiving beatdown on my legs. I was inexperienced and unsure as to how to tackle the heat and humidity, but slowly but surely, I made it to the end. There were three aid stations during the entire race, so runners are encouraged to bring their own hydration. Orange slices around mile 8 were a godsend. The hardware is pretty generic, but worth the challenge.
