Are you tweaking for a piddlin lil race?

You make my heart sang.

I've done it. It's not much of a trail race. Totally flat, not very technical.

Still has lots of little stumps and rocks to trip you up though. It seems like every other time I run that trail, I end up with at least one good arms pinwheeling, legs trying to catch up, trip.

I'd like to go and run it as hard as I can.

Is there any other way to race? I enjoyed the Wild Thang last year, but it's some flat, easy trails. My pace per mile was only 9 seconds slower at Wild Thang than it was at the CM Half the week before, and that was probably because we had to run through water in a few spots. Mostly, this is a trail that begs to be run fast. Parking note: Park near the finish line and picnic area. It's about a 3/4 mile run to the start, but that makes a good half-hearted warm-up.
