Run
Comments: We have had rain here alot lately. An inch or so the night before the race. The trails were very sloppy. Over 3 inches of standing water in some places and at least that much mud in others. Very slippery and not many dry places to run. I fell down trying to pass a guy to move into second place, got back up and successfully passed him a few minutes later. This cost me a few seconds.Given that, an overall good race performance. This year's first place time was 20:05, whereas the same guy ran 18:21 last year, just for reference. What would you do differently?: Not fall down. Post race
Warm down: 14.5 mile bike ride with the journeyman racing guys. What limited your ability to perform faster: MUD. Event comments: Loved this race, as it was my first experience on sloppy trails. Last updated: 2010-01-25 12:00 AM

Eat roast beef sandwich after church and a bite of my son's fried squirrell(his first). Drink some water on way to race.
Jogged around the trails as sort of a recon mission, ran a couple strides right before start.
