Entered today's race in 9th place in Dirt Days Series standings, needed a finish to become official. Trails were in great shape, ran hard and grabbed 11th overall. USATF sanctioned event but the "5K" is posted as 3.5.... Was within 50 seconds of Scott today… This event deserves some description as it was pretty unique, we started with XC style grass to spread the field then hit nice double track, turning to single on the way down to the river. At about a mile we hit the river and were faced with a steep section of stairs, that went to scramble back to stairs and then scramble to the top. I hit the woods in 22nd, 3 guys ahead of me were toasted by the climb, I buried them shortly. We continued through a mix of single and double track until coming out behind the school for more XC style grass with a steep 20 foot up grunt about a 1/4 mile from the finish. Lots of variety, great race for $12.50!
