OK, for starters you will see I did a few extra miles for this 34 mile race. Mostly because unless a course is marked to a level that a 6 year old can follow I will get lost. Of course it would have helped if I had actually listened to the pre-race directions.
This is a really nice and not very technical trail run. We ran on just about every type of ground their is, single track, double track, gravel road, briefly on asphalt when road crossing, chewed up horse trails, stream crossings, well you get the point. The cool things about this race:
-No time limit and no fee. Donations only.
-GREAT aid stations with lots of food and wonderful volunteers
-RD's son in law is cook and made a nice spread for post-race food
-As usual for every ultra I've attended there were encouraging, upbeat and friendly race participants.
I'm really not giving this race enough of a write up as it deserves but I'll have to leave that for another runner's blog somewhere on the internet...they will do a better job of it.
I really liked the race but I was just glad to have found finish line and called it a day.
Terry has 3 more races in her race series this year. They all have no time limit and make for a great first ultra. You can find her other races here: http://ultrasontrails.com/ |
