Comments:

I felt pretty good. Health was good and I was looking to go sub 50. That was until I saw the course. Then I adjusted and said sub hour. I have never done a real trail run so this was something new and took some getting used to.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe get some trail running shoes. On some of the downhills I had to be a little cautious. I felt very strong at the end of the race so I was happy with that.
Post race
Warm down:

None.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Weather and shoes. When it started snow/raining at mile 3 I knew it would be a long day. Luckly about mile 4.5 it stopped and I was able to really push the rest of the way in.

Event comments:

This race would make a great training course, but it was nothing special as far as a race goes. But I was treating it like a fun training run so it was good for me. :)
