Notes
Humid: 90% Humid and wet trails after last nights thunderstorms. Felt a little sluggish this morning and the first uphill climb was tough. Finally settled into a nice rhythm on the downhill into 1st water stop. The next section was nice; had company as older guy tailed me the whole way. We were joined by a woman on the first climb away from the 2nd water stop. Still feeling strong and started hammering the descents. Passed by older guy at the 3rd water stop because he didn't stop. I stalked him up the first climb and passed him on the downhill. He tailed me most of the way between the hills. Footing got tricky here with all the mud and I was starting to get tired. Hit the red zone cresting the climb and lost the other guy. Didn't have a desire to hammer on the last downhill. Shouldn't trail race with holey socks... ended up with a nice blood blister.
