Well, 49 degrees and raining, very muddy conditions on a brutal course! So from a trail running perspective, awwwwwwwwwwwesome! Stomach felt great, glute was good, feet ( which have been bugging me), were great. I had a barky groin ( do girls HAVE a groin?) The crease of my leg. Is that your groin? I don't know but that barked a bit and I ignored it.
Had a good day, felt blessed to be out there. Ran 7 mins faster than three years ago. I looked at my watch at the 10 mile mark and said dang girl, you can beat your previous time if you haul your buns. So I did. I came through early than my DH and BIL were expecting me so they were pumps.
I also learned 2 things:
1.I can power hike uphill like nobody's business
2. Wet sketchy rocky downhills do not scare me
It is not gonna win me any trophies, but I sure passed a lot of folks that way.
So home, warmed up ( I was freezing post race, getting some food down, all good.
