Awesome race with my three studly brothers in the redwoods of Nothern Cali. Spent a few days messing around with the brothers prior to this race. Was good hang out time. THe race itself was very fun with a lot of up and down (about 3100ft of each). I loved the course, but made a major navagating faux pas at about mile 8.5 when I followed two dudes down the left arm of a trail split without really looking at the sign closely. We found our mistake after a steep descent and then had to backtrack up the now steep ascent. This really blew because I wanted to see if I could keep the two brothers I had passed behind me. By the time I added the nearly quarter mile on I was out of the sprint to the finish. Live and Learn. Loved the race overall though. They did a nice job of putting it on and I was happy to finally get an age group place award. You just need to get old enough and run in a small enough race and presto. Felt really good overall, and it made it great to be with the bros. Maybe I will add the exact time and splits later, I dont have garmin with me. |
