Comments:

Started off at a good pace, but dialed it back once tightness crept in. Left arch especially is a bit sore, so I just took it easy. I had no plans or expectations for this run, just a good fun training run after the Poconos 70.3. Felt fine otherwise.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. Wasn't planning on going faster, so I don't mind that I was slow. Probably could have skipped the long sleeve t-shirt.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Soreness/tightness from last week's race.

Event comments:

Another great ORRRC trail series race. Like the theme, especially since because I was the 44th person to cross the finish line, that meant I got a case of "witches' brew" for being unlucky. Can't beat getting beer for being slow in a $3 race!

Overall: 42/62
Performance: Average
Actually distance was around 8.46 on the GPS, which is usually short on these trail runs, so who knows. See training log for split data.
Course: Two loops at the park, east of the paved trail, west of the river. Mostly flat, a little soft in places but not much mud. A lot of tree roots and walnuts to dodge, and the trail seemed to always be sloped left or right.
Keeping cool Average Drinking Just right
