This one definitely ate me alive. I didn’t realize when I signed up it was a trail run. I definitely was not ready, but regardless I needed a race in Iowa. The trail was well marked, lots of ups and downs, wooden bridges across creeks and through beautiful meadows. At one point on the trail the leaders and the rest of the pack got confused as to who is supposed to be on which side. It got very jumbled with a couple collisions and some angst.
Iowa is not perfectly flat!
