Comments: The volunteers were fabulous!! The "sweeper" stayed with me, as I was the last one. He was so kind, and didn't make me feel like a fat, old lady. The organizers were upbeat and fun, and the prizes were excellent! I am amazed that only 20 people came out for this tough trail race. It is touted as "the toughest 5K in the North Country" and it is!! What would you do differently?: Do lots more hills and trail running to prepare!!! My sister is an excellent runner and she runs trails and she won the womens' category in 27 minutes.  Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: I am fat and old. Event comments: Great race for the tough. I don't know if I will do it again, but if you like a challenge, this is the race for you!!! Last updated: 2013-09-30 12:00 AM

Extreme Veteran 705 | Subject: RE: Gore Mountain Leaf Cruncher Trail Race Yes, in retrospect, it was fun, but I didn't think so when I was about to puke from gasping for breath so hard!!! It was a beautiful day out there, so it ended up being a great experience! Nancy |
