The race was awesome for a trail runner, but I am not a trail runner. I thought I would give it a shot. the powerline climb kicked my butt. Not to mention I had just ran my first marathon 2 weeks earlier, also I ran in my very smooth Altras. ( I was not prepared 🙁 I admired all the trail runners on how smoothly they ran over the rough terrain and up and down hills through the woods. I would love to try this race again after some serious trail training.
