Trail Running race 52:13 [5] 10.0 km (5:13 / km)
shoes: Mudclaw O+340
Mendon Trail Run - ROC Organized event. My main goal was to improve upon my time from last year - which I was able to do - on the order of just under 3 minutes. I think I pushed myself a bit harder this time around. I had to walk a couple of the steepest uphills, and battled some minor cramping around 5km, but I was also able to settle in behind Gil at about the same time so that helped (although it was a bit discouraging that it was his 20km pace!). Kameron improved her time as well and was the 4th female finisher. Anyway, it was a great race and made even better this year with the addition of timing chips. Kameron invited some of her 'triathlete' friends, so it was a nice gathering. I am not sure about the turnout but it looked to be larger than last year.
