Race report

First race in quite a few months. Pretty rusty and feeling it! Great weather. Great trail. Almost made it up the bluff without walking - caught up to the woman in front of me during the climb but couldn't pass her.

Race report

Gorgeous course with a river. Super challenging steady climb for the first three miles. Longer than a 10k by nearly a mile.

Race report

Super challenging course with a wicked single track uphill section and lots of elevation change in general

Race report

Converted rail trail. It was an out an back course that seemed perfectly flat. It was actually a gentle grade downhill for the first 2.5 miles, meaning the return 2.5 miles was uphill the entire way. That got exhausting. Still, fun and wet and drizzly.

Race report

Lots of rain leading up to the race. The trail was really muddy with puddles and lots of slipping.

Race report

Delightful warm race. Ashley's first 5-mile, and our 3rd race together.

Race report

One whole year of trail racing!

Race report

Super difficult race - four laps with wicked hills and crowded single-track. I hadn't been running as much, and this was a super harsh race as a result. Ashley's first race - she entered the 5k spontaneously!

Race report

First race of 2018. Nice twisty course. Nursing left foot tendon issue and broken right big toenail. Those injuries didn't affect my performance, but I was aware of them throughout

Race report

Gorgeous park. I had entered the 8-mile, but when the first lap ended, I decided to finish the 4-mile instead. The hill between miles 2.5-3.5 was significant and difficult. I had to stop (not just walk - stop) two or three times on the way up. The same hill would have been between miles 6.5-7.5 during the second loop. I didn't think I could do it.

Race report

Wet and awesome! My first half-marathon, and it went really well.

Race report

Unusual 12k (4-laps) distance. Fun, though.

Race report

Great trail run that would have been perfectly at home in the PNW. Hilly and scenic. Treva waiting at the finish line, too!

Same day registration. This was a chipped race, but my number never showed up in the official results online. Time and placement are decent estimates though.

Race report

Fastest 10k yet - a personal best at 8:26/mile

Race report

I got a little lost and showed up about 5 minutes after the start. I pinned my number on while running. Challenging hilly course. I fell in the last mile and cut my palm on a rock. It looked way worse than it really was by the time I got to the finish. I was delighted to get a race in before my trip to WI.

Race report

Narrow muddy trails and pretty challenging. Kinda hilly, but totally managable. I'm kinda getting into trail running. It feels like a real accomplishment to sprint the last quarter mile to the finish line after a challenging hilly muddy run.

Race report

Super nice course with wide trails & gentle normal hills.

Race report

My first race since high school. It was brutally hilly with narrow trails and tight switchbacks. Really fun! I had a solid middle of the pack performance.
