first mile was 6:30, way to fast, wanted the average to be 7:30 for both, so i dialed it back.

estimate of time here. they had the run and t1 together.

wear a lower ponytail so my helmet will fit.

went well, went at about 85%, hurt- but i didn't need to cry:)

should've been quicker but i was SHOCKED to see one of my pals, she's WAY faster than me normally, so i said hi and asked if she was ok while i took in some nutrition, which i shoulda just done while running.

single track trails, hills and sand and trees and such. beautiful course, but difficult for me to go fast. my achilles and soleus were all knotted up so i couldn't run on my toes, therefore i couldn't run up hills. no biggie though. i was encouraged that my quads felt pretty good, and my lungs felt good because of the slower pace.

not start jump roping in training last week. bad trixie.

got some ART people to massage out my knotted calves...OUCH and sat with rick, slick, shannon and FB44 and waited for the awards.


not much, it wasn't an A race, so i'm pretty happy. i took 5:12 off last year's time.


tough but very good race, this race is beginning to be a tradition, as it should.
