This is a small race that we do every year, and are awarded with a t-shirt, pie, and a pre-feast calorie burn. I wanted to keep up with Tom, but had no idea how I'd do as I hadn't done a non spartan race for a year now.
I felt good starting out, but soon felt the previous days crossfit workout in my legs on the hills. This is an offroad trail race that is filled with rock hurdling and ankle turning terrain. and sand! I had a pretty fast heart rate going by the first mile. Then 2 guys passed me through the canyon (dang guys with their longs legs). I kept with them through the rest of the race, but lost them again as hit the canyon one more time. I finished a minute behind Tom, and was a little bummed with my performance against the guys - oh well.
Jim had ran with the boys through the mile course, so I went out with him for his 3.5 mile lap. Gave myself 8 for the day.
