I've been doing some long runs the last couple of weeks but nothing else because I was sick and we have been traveling. So I was hoping the "rest" was going to help instead of hurt too much.
I haven't been running very fast during training runs so my goal was 10 minute miles (running on rocky, rooty trails always slows you down some). Plus I usually only run 2-3 times a week and do Insanity 2-3 times a week.
I am extremely happy with my time of 1:26:17 (9:36/mile pace)! Plus I got 3rd in my age category (30-34) and was the 14th place female overall.
For placing I got a multitool as a prize.
It was a little warm and humid but completely dry so the trail was in good condition. The race was out and back on the 4 mile Bryant Grove Trail. The first half mile was on the road in order to thin out the 200 participants before entering the trail. The trail was rolling but there were no big hills. However there were a lot of rocks and there were a lot of people getting first aid at the ambulance at the end of the race for cuts sustained from falls. Luckily I was not one of them!
Overall, the race was run well by the Nashville Striders and I enjoyed getting to trail run again.
