OK – I say it’s a challenging course, but it was my first time on it and only my 2 1/2 trail race (not really sure I’m counting my first trail race from 3 years ago). But it was a great day weather-wise and I’m thankful for that. The trail was also suitable for bikes so there were a lot of man-made bunny hills that hurt like the dickens after awhile. The race management is superb and the swag was a tall coffee mug, super-soft tech t-shirt, and a glow in the dark medal. I’m trying not to be bummed about my time, but we did come to a stop helping a fellow runner to wiped out and broke? sprained? his ankle. My group took it a bit slower after that as a precaution. Then we took an extended break at the halfway pit stop with pickles, M&Ms and nuts. All in all – I had a great experience and I think I’m picking up the trail-running bug.
Trail series - challenging course!
