Comments: I went out too fast...surprise I know. I backed it down after mile 2 and tried to find the pace of the day. However, I simply ran out of shape after 7 miles. The last 2.3 were very slow with a few hills walked. I really decided not to go deep on this day. I have not run over 7 miles in 4 months. I knew 9.3 trail race was not going to be a stellar time. I did listen to music which I normally do not do on trail races. It helped me on the rough spots. What would you do differently?: start off a little slower and save something for the last 3 miles. I will approach this race slightly different next year.  Post race
Warm down: No real warm down. I sat down in my chair and relaxed for 15 minutes. I got out of my wet cloths and left for the car. I was stiff when I got home, but not bad the next AM. What limited your ability to perform faster: Just not enough miles to go faster Event comments: I love this race. Beautiful fall colors, not overly technical and great way to transition into trail season. I would like to get a group to go next year. Last updated: 2013-11-23 12:00 AM

Since I have done the race a few times, I did things "right" this time. First, I took a stadium chair because there is no where to sit. It was nice to not sit on the cold cement prior to the race. Second, I took several different layers and waited until just before the start to decide on what to wear. I did not over heat or get too cold during the race. Lastly, I stayed warm all the way to the start.
I normally do not warm up much on trail races because I am never actually racing. However, I did about a mile warm up to loosen up the legs and get the body temp up some.
