Comments:

I was very happy with this race! I'm not much of a trail runner but this was a great race! Decent wide hard pack trails with lot's of hills and a couple of hills that were just tough! I was able to run the hills very well and really push it on the flats. I did lose a couple of positions to better hill runners though.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe train more on trails. Get some decent trail shoes...I used my road shoes and well I could use some trail shoes especially trying to run up damp leaf covered hills.

Age Group: 1/18
Overall: 6/167
Performance: Good
Course: Hilly!!! Difficulty rating: Hills: 4 / Surface: 2 (1=easy, 5=difficult) The 15k course is the only out-and-back course in the Vasque DINO Trail Run Series. After running the Lawrence creek Trail counterclockwise, you will enter the horse trail and run its entirety. Just before the turn-around is a tough segment with a creek crossing (you can stay dry if you are careful) and two very steep hills. You'll turn around at the horse barn area and backtrack the entire way, seeing who's trying to catch you.
Keeping cool Good Drinking Just right

What a great race and good time! I haven't done much trail running until lately but I may have to get some decent trail shoes and race some more events. I ran in my road shoes which wasn't too bad but I twisted my ankle pretty good and bloodied two toes. I don't know if trail shoes will help with this though. Fun race! Check out the Dino series...lot's of fun!
