The race was great, but hilly and lots of “bumps” in the road. One got me, my foot hit I tripped and face plant on the paved trail. So mad at myself, although a tough course it was going really well and beautiful. I did finish the race but the last 5 1/2 miles had to be walked and 7 stitches on my forehead and a bruised knee was my reward. Ha! The medal was huge – just a bit too much but still fun to earn. The shirts ran really big which was too bad because it was a tech shirt, I like those to fit. But small was as small as I could go. I do hope to do this race again and not slam my face into the pavement. I recommend!
