Notes
I was running down a hill FAST in the middle of mile 4 and caught a root. I went airborne and came down on my right palm (which split open) and my right thigh, HARD, on the top of my IT band. I was alone in the woods so my only real option was to keep going. By the time I got to an aid station 3 miles later I realized I was doing pretty well, poured a little water on the cuts, and kept on trucking.
Came in 1st in Female 30-39 and 3rd overall female. Very technical course; very hot day; beautiful trails; beautiful shade. I felt pretty bad ass!
