Run 3:27:58 [3] 18.13 mi (11:28 / mi) +4081ft 9:27 / mi
Mt Tam Trail Run. STEEP climbs. Steep Ravine Trail is so steep it literally has a ladder section. Super stoked to run on Dipsea and down through Muir Woods; trails that are just steeped in running history.
Ran super easy through the mile 9 aid, opened it up a bit to 11, then let the legs go the rest of the race. Incredibly surprised at the paces I was throwing down and how hard I ran for that last 10k. Finished with quite a bit left in the tank. Tailwind for the WIN.
Wound up 25th OA and 7th in 40-49 AG; 5th was about 90 secs up. Totally catch-able if I had known.
