Event warmup:

Drove about 2 hours to the race, so woke up at about 3:30, was on the road by 4 and got there at 6. Start was at 7. Warmup was mostly spent in the car staying warm as it was ~40 degrees out.

Comments:

I ran the first 27 miles on my own, then caught up to wifey who was doing the 25k at around mile 27.5-28. I decided to finish with her as she hurt her knee falling down one of the steep descents. So the last 3-4 miles were a walk, but it felt great to stretch the legs.
This was just a training day for me, so it was just right.
What would you do differently?:

I did screw up a bit and didn't stop at the aid station at the end of each loop. I actually didn't know it was there. So I was only stopping at one aid station in the middle of the course, every 7.6 miles or so. It was ok until the last 2 loops, and it caught up to me as I was running out of h2o in my handheld.

Event comments:

Great post race food. As always, Joe puts on the best events at Tejas Trails. I'll do every one of them I can from now on.

Course: course was four ~7.6 mile loops. Mostly flat with some rollers, lots of single track with switchbacks. 1-2 big hills that required walking on the 3/4 laps. Very beautiful and fun course. http://app.strava.com/runs/28115953#
Keeping cool Good Drinking Not enough
