blue mounds

against my better judgment, i ran the blue mounds trail run yesterday. 18km including the overlode trail, the freshly cut/mowed trail up to brigham park, and some of the hiking trails leading back to the top of the mound. i went out a touch too hard and slogged the rest of the way to the finish. i was 12th around 1/2 way and finished 19th in around 1:30. somehow, i managed a 2nd place in my 30-34 age group. considering how little 'training' i've done, i'm pretty content.

trail running is really fun. but boy it is different than getting out on the roads. i'm really really tender from my abs to my quads. it was just slick enough for my to really punish my stabilizer muscles...my hip flexors are especially tender.

so, it was a good day.

happy sunday.
