Unexpected
I didn't see this coming. That's a first place 24-30 age group medal. Holy cow! It was a little cool this morning when I arrived at the race site. I registered and then warmed up with some jogging and streching. I wasn't sure if this was a grass or cement run. It was grass, and I didn't bring my trail shoes. That was stupid of me, but oh well. 130 racers started just after 8:00. I got off fast with the lead group and quickly settled in. The grass was wet and slick so you had to pay attention to where you were stepping. This was a two lap course with some short ups and downs. I was able to gain a few places on the hills by attacking with some quick turnover. I finished 14th out of 130 runners and 1st in my age class. Finishing time was 20:48. Slower than I had wanted but hey, I took home some hardware.
Now we are off to Heartland Farms with Ainsley to get some pumpkins. I plan on catching some football later also.
Ed out!

I did not go back to the tree tunnel but it was pretty cool. I will probably do some training back there next year.
Nice work. Just imagine what you could have done if you would come up here for a weekend of training
