First of all, roots, roots, and more roots! I cart-wheeled over one and four more tried and failed. The first 10 or so miles went fine, but the humidity enveloped me to the detriment of my optimum performance. Not to mention, two weeks ago I ran 17 miles under 3 hours (80 degrees F) at a decent pace, but I live 4 hours from the coast. And, I got blisters for the first time in 30 years! Beware, the trail is deceiving.

This was my first mountain trail race! And OMG was I not ready! Somehow, I got turned around (blame myself) and ended-up circling the pinnacle twice! I blame it on the thin air.lol
Btw, a big THANK YOU, to the race organizers for giving me credit for the 20k because I had fell behind the cut-off time by 11 minutes for the marathon distance, I had originally signed-up for. Oh well, I’ll be back next year.
On second thought, I was looking for a challenge, but DAMN! This mountain was no joke.

Great aid stations. Plus, for the runners who doubt that they would make the 3 pm cut-off time the organizers let you start earlier! This is either for the 25k or 50K races.
