Huffs 50k Trail RElay race.... Never was able to run "hard". Much of the trail was single track, hilly, rooted, and rocks were hidden beneath the leaves. Not little rocks either. (my time for 10.8 was 1:14;26
The weather was 32 degrees, course was a nice mix of mud, Ice, and standing water. I had a face first wipe out at mile 4... in 6 inches of water (that was under a quarter inch of ice). That was a fun last 6 miles. I ran very conservatively being careful of my foot placement. Not a bad time considering... and I had a blast and got to get filthy dirty! Company was excellent, Tom Dever, and Tim Fears as well as the Terre Haute North girls and boys teams, we had a total blast. A much needed mental break! It was actually 10.8 and I ran that in 1:14. I took my split at 10 miles and inserted it here, since my only option was a 10 mile xc race. The last .8 was extremely winding, and up hill...
