The race went awesome. It was a great trail!
I'm VERY happy with my times and my running. I finished around 1:54 and for a hilly course, i think that's pretty great. I got 12th in my age group (outta 110) and 254th outta 1266 runners total (male and female).
After finishing, I enjoyed the post race festivities with thomas and went back home for a shower and a nap. Upon waking, however, i realized that my right hip was jammed during the run (too much running down hill i guess). But no problem today it's feeling almost completly normal, and i'm gonna do a nice easy 4-6 miler today (depending on how i feel mid run).
Next up, a 4 mile Xterra trail race. I love this race. It was my very first race ever a year ago. Last year I came in second, but this year i moved up an age group which, contrary to what you'd believe, makes it harder. It seems that my new age group is a peak time for "serious" runners, so i'm just gonna train hard and see what happens. Xterra races are my FAVORITE, and this is the last one i can compete in before i leave for Mali, so i'm pretty excited.
In other exciting weekend news...thomas and i went to the farmers market again this weekend and bought a bunch of fruit. mmmdelicious. Buy local!
Gypsy on!
