Comments:

I love trail running! Not boring at all.Felt pretty good considering I only ran a handful of times to prepare. Entered a hockey tournament forgetting that I was running this weekend. Had a tough game Thursday night, Friday night and had 2 on Saturday afternoon/evening. Glad we lost Sunday because I couldn't have made it through the championship game Sunday PM. Again, if I put a little effort in training I might do better.
What would you do differently?:

Train and not play in a hockey tourney the same weekend.
Post race
Warm down:

Stretched out a bit. Grabbed some of the free food and hit the road to hockey!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Same old, same old. Doing too much and not focusing on any one activity.

Event comments:

I'll do it again because I love the trails.
