Pre-race routine:

First Trail Race and longest trail run ever by a whole lot so I got up early ate Cliff Bar and Power Bar, drank eLoad, had a Hammer Gel right before start.

Event warmup:

None

Run

3h 09m 57s

Comments:

Forgot all of the hard learned lessons of marathon training. Started out too fast and did not remember to eat any of the gels that I carried. I fell well off my 8:30/mile pace on the final lap finishing in the high 12s. Next race, I'll start out more conservatively and EAT, EAT EAT!

What would you do differently?:

Eat at regular 5K intervals.

Post race

Warm down:

Two hamburgers, a beer and a nasty Enervit recovery drink.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Stupidity

Event comments:

Two more races in the series, the Loop and the Belt.

Performance:	Good
Course:	The name Maze is perfect. This course winds, climbs, dips, drops, cuts back so many times that you have only a vague sense of progress. The course makes three 10K loops with well stocked aid staions at 5K and 10K.
