  • Comments: I am definitely liking this whole trail run thing. It's so much easier on the feet (pounding-wise) than road racing. The risk is in tripping and falling, or twisting your ankle. I didn't see anyone do this today. I had a good run, albeit a little slower than I would have liked...but I was told to add about two minutes to an average 5K road race for a trail run. So all in all I'm happy with the time. My legs felt great the whole time, it was the tightness in my chest that slowed me down that first mile. Definitely satisfied and will be doing more of these. Adventure racing sounds like fun. Gotta learn to kayak (hint hint Jessica). Awards were given out for only the overall finishers...so top three in the race for male and female. I came in 17th, out of 140+ people. I say not bad.
