My first trail race. Had an awesome time. Run went well. Started at the very front which at the beginning I didn't enjoy the faster runners go by, but I had to run my race. First lap went well, the course was hillier then I thought it was going to be, but it went well, regardless. Super happy with my finishing time. Might be back again in 2015, but might do something else. Ran the second lap thirty seconds faster then the first. Was one of very few people to have a negative split. Rolled my ankle lightly about 4 times. Nothing serious, but not fun! Didn't rain and the you couldn't feel the wind at all in the forest. Was surprised that shorts, t-shirt, and gloves was sufficient to keep me warm. I loved running on the grass, trail was really nice too, really disliked running on the pavement. Went all out a couple of times on the descent, reckless some would say, but fun. Ran up every hill, passed lots of people going up and down.
