short race report,
Yesterday, sunday, I ran the Bear Creek Challenge 10k trail run. The “trail” was very narrow and very rocky and hilly and technical=fun and challenging. The day was gorgeous! I barely made it to the starting line as I couldn’t find my way to the race. Anyways, i did make it about 5 minutes before the start. I had just enough time to use the lady’s room and get my # before we were off! I got stuck behind a line of people on the trail and stayed behind them for about a mile, then politely passed them when the time was right. The trails were tough since they were covered with rocks and then about 1 inch of slippery dry leaves. I was 2nd woman for a good part of the race then on a killer hill, a lady passed me. Awhile later as i was running down a steep hill a guy in front of me took a bad tumble and twisted his ankle so I stopped to see if he was ok. Right at that moment another lady passed me flying. I caught up and passed her, then she passed me and I gave up. I sprinted to the finish line and was 5th woman overall! I ended up taking 2nd for my age group. The best part was that I didin’t feel tired at all. I also won a huge container of HEED in the raffle and scored a cool shirt for my collection! I can’t wait till my next race the weekend of thanksgiving!
Just finished podcast 65. I just wanted to say thanks. I was lying on my bed after a very long day teaching and knew I needed to get out and run but felt too tired. I wanted to just turn on the TV and veg. I was listening to your podcast and heard about your meeting with Dean Karnazes. His comment of “Never Quit” got me off my arse, out the door and round my 6 mile route. Cheers.
