Comments:

Had to watch feet every step. Quite a few hills. Killer hill at 1.5 miles. Started at front of pack at start. Had trouble passing at a few points because of poor trail.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Post race
Warm down:

Streched.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Trail was rugged and difficult to pass other runners at times.

Event comments:

Huge timing problems. My results are incorrect. I saw the clock when I came in and I actually ran 10 seconds faster than the official results have posted. The official results have 6 people listed ahead of me that were behind me at the finish. Emailed officials and they are going to a chip system next year. Good call.

Bummer about the timing problems, but it sounds like you had a great race anyway - you have some pace for a challenging trail run there!  Sounds like a fun course.  Congratulations!

Yeah that does sound like a fun/challenging run.  I love running trails because when you are focusing on where to step and things like that you don't have time to focus on how tired you are!

Congrats on the race!
