I felt horrible the whole race. I was still sore from the race last week. But my place and time weren't too bad. The terrain was much easier than last weeks race but still had plenty of hills, rocks, and roots. I also got lost several time despite the course being well marked. There were so many flags in places that seemed obvious to me that twice I got to a tricky place and didn't know which way to go and thought I might have missed a turn earlier because most of it was so well marked. So I ran back to the last flag, realized I was going in the right direction, had to guess at a fork and guessed right. Another time I bushwacked a bit and ended back on the trail in the wrong direction which I realized pretty quickly. Luckily nobody caught up to me in doing this and I passed someone while he was lost and didn't realize it until I finished and they said I got third! It is a little bit sad, but I am pretty much gonna be road racing for the rest of the season. I plan to do a shake out 5 miles this evening
