21 mile trail race at South Mountain Res. in Maplewood.
My first real trail race. Two loops of 10 miles with a 1 mile addition at the start. Ran with Shannon for the full distance, and Lauren joined for the opening 11. Very tough, technical course. A lot of mud due to rain all day yesterday. Not crazy, but fairly prevalent. Footing was quite rocky, with some roots sprinkled in. Downhills were rough/long. Some uphills were quite steep and we walked most of them. Quite happy I did this! 10 would have been "easy". 21 was real challenge. My feet and ankles are sore/tired. They don't hurt, just very tired. My arms are also quite sore. Tomorrow should be fun, walking around like an old man. Wait... ;-)
