Comments: A good springtime trail run in the rockies. The first lap was in the fog/mist, which was really surreal. Then it burned off and the scenery emerged. Didn't seem so much like a second lap. My healing hamstring seemed to limit my downhill speed most. This was a pretty challenging run for the training I've done so far. I've run harder & farther, but not in the last 10 years! What would you do differently?: Forgot to take my bike tools out of my camelback fanny pack before the run. Oh well, I probably got stronger running with extra weight! Post race
Warm down: walking and a massage, then hanging out stretching on the fence and talking to Vertical Listing (by phone) and COgirl who also raced! What limited your ability to perform faster: Sore knees and hamstring - but mostly, not quite enough training. This run required more strength than a road race of the same distance. Event comments: Brunch? I never found the food!? The start/finish was several hundred yards from the restrooms/parking/exhibitor area. Perhaps they moved the food up to the finish after we moved down to the hang out area. Glad I brought some of my own! There could not have been many drinks or heavy stuff, the start finish was out of range of vehicles - everyting had to be hand carried. I never did figure it out. Last updated: 2005-02-17 12:00 AM

Made a fresh pot of coffee - needed to get going after spending most of the night with a very sick toddler. Also nice to have a cup of joe on a drive of an hour. Breakfast of cream of wheat and gatorade.
Made sure to throw old towels and extra water in the car to clean up after a muddy run. Brought recover drinks and dry clothes for the drive home.
Find the right layers for a chilly morning that would get much warmer during the race. Jogged around a bit, but it was foggy and chilly.
