Pre-race routine:

Met up with my high school friend and her sister-in-law, both of whom run waaaay faster than me.

Comments:

This was a great little trail run put on by the local run club in my hometown. Pretty challenging trail with lots of ups and downs and a few logs to jump over. Fun!
What would you do differently?:

Warm up more. The plantar fasciitis was not happy.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked and stretched a little. Took a couple pictures. Kathy got an award so we hung around for that.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of training, as always.

Event comments:

Not a bad run for me, and a fun way to start the day! Also helped me feel a little less guiltly about the picnic food that came later in the day! :)

Nice job, guys - that was a fun race!  My wife was born in Ishpeming, and her parents have a camp out on the Dead River Basin, so we come up every 4th of July and I always try to run this race.  It seemed a little short this time, no?

Just curious - do you know if they post the race results online somewhere, or do we just wait for the results to be mailed to us, like normal?

Thanks!

Mike
