My First Trail Race


I had a blast running the 7 mile course of Lebanon Hills Regional Park the other day!  It was a big race of about 355 men and women.  We went from a slow, blobby start, to peaceful single-track over about the first 1/2 mile in.  I chased a guy for 4 miles and another guy chased me--we all finished in order.  A pack of elite runners finished way ahead, and I finished 34th overall among the average Joes & Janes.  The night sure gave me a hanker'n for more trail races...but it also contributed to a 6 day hiatus as my ankle was tweaked pretty good.
 Here is Piya and me pumping up the pythons before the start.
