Notes
First trail race, had loads of fun. I felt like the first few miles were conservative, but looking back on the splits it seems maybe that wasn't the case (though a lot of that was heavy downhill, too).
Miles 5-8 were almost all trail, and very easy on my legs. The last two miles of trail (10-11) were more technical than the rest, and I nearly bit it hurdling a felled tree while flying downhill, but managed to keep my feet underneath me.
I can't wait to do this again.
