Well, today was definitely one of the most interesting competitive runs I have ever completed. Not only was it the longest competitive race but it was my first trail run! The two are completely different types of running when you compare trail running and road running. It is basically looking at the ground the entire run, watching every step, and careful placement of your feet. One wrong step can send you rolling down a hill!
Overall, the run was one of the most difficult and challenging runs I have ever completed! I just keep thinking, only 5 more miles, only 4 more miles, 3 more, 2 more, less than 1 more... Until finally I crossed that finish line!!!
My goal was to complete the 7.4 mile trail run within 1 hour and 15 minutes. I ended up completing the race 5 minutes quicker at 1:10, which I was just happy to finish! =) I ended up winning 1st place in the Amazon woman division (140 lbs+) which I was SOOOOO PUMPED!!!!!!!!! I was in complete shock and so happy!!!!! Everyone from Second Wind who attended the race ended up winning some hardware, which was so great! All of us road runners came and kicked that trail's ass!
