BRIGHTON MARATHON (25 miles +/- 7,500 vert +/-)
Fun day out on the trail. Low-key, bandit run by local runners. Didn't race today but enjoyed time with Quintin Barney, his daughter Kara for a spell and ran with Matt P. for the remainder of the day.

Ahhhhh!
Some good hills (7,500 vert) and incredible trail. Visited places I've never seen.
