Comments:

Though I had run some trails, this was my first actual trail race. How do I put this -- I got my tail handed to me in a basket! Since the Kiawah marathon, I've done a couple of half marathons, and have been pretty much just lolly-gagging around with my training and both of the halfs... Well, it told on me this morning - I did the first mile @ 8.30 something, check... Then, well, I just didn't have the mental or physical fitness to keep my pace. I didn't cry like a third grader or anything (at least not on the outside), but, I knew my butt was toast from mile two on...
What would you do differently?:

Uhhh... Train harder.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Just simply did not train fast enough...

Event comments:

I really enjoyed the trail-running environment - People seemed to be pretty laid back and humble... And I really love being out in the woods rather than on the roads... Now that I've experienced an actual trail race, I think I'll go ahead and do the whole 6-race series and work to improve throughout the series...
