Comments:

Longest race I have entered to date and 1st trail run, I enjoyed the experience. I wanted to get in a decent race to start the year to keep me honest during spring base training. Hoped to run 2:30, ran 2:20.
What would you do differently?:

Train more on rough/rocky terrain, my feet were hammered even with the trail running shoes. I did ample hills and smooth trail runs, not enough rough trail.
Post race
Warm down:

Eat, drink, relax.

Event comments:

Unique event close to downtown, hope to be back.
