I totally forgot I had signed up for this race til Thursday night. It has been a crazy week. So i drove down to Soda Springs checked into my hotel.
Found out that the race was about 6 miles of trail and the rest pavement. I was a bit nervous because I had never ran on trail and was nervouse I would fall or something. So, I looked on youtube for "trail running" tips and I think it helped a little bit.
The race could have used a few more aid stations I think i remember like 3 or so and the aid stations were not set up all the way when the people in the front came by... NO GELS!!!!!! Good thing I had one in my pocket cause I needed one bad. Anyway so the course was not mile marked except at the 10 and 12.... Right after the 12 I took a left instead of a right and went down about a mile or so stopped a car and asked where the park was they told me I was going the wrong way.. GRRRR I was a little upset but just went with it.. According to my app it says I ran 14.93... Would have been 4th but since I turned wrong I ended up in 6th still pretty happy.My time is a little on the high side but thats because of the the distance I went!
Loved the medal, I also got a 50 lb bag of potatoes and a 10 dollar gas card! |
