Sounds like a tough trail race. I can't imagine running on a trail, but maybe I'll try it some day. They do sound like fun runs!
Was this the one that was near Lake Bistineau, my old stomping grounds? I somehow missed you talking about the race and can't find race info online. I'd love to see the course.
keep your head up man.
I dont know much, but I know that not all courses and not all trails are created equal.
take something from this race and put it in your bag of tricks for your future races.
