Running race 57:30 [5]
shoes: Brooks Cascadia Pivot
5 Peaks trail run Durham Forest.
I started in mid pack, which meant a lot of traffic in the singletrack sections and hills, but eventually things sorted out.
I watched the HRM and tried not to burn matches.
Near the end I caught most of the people I had seen up front for numerous switchbacks, but unfortunately they'd missed the turn and so did I. I figure we made a 1.5 minute error.Trust me to make a nav error on a marked course.
Meridian was hard to catch, and wasn't far behind me at the end.
Finished about 41/190 or so overall, and maybe lost 3 places due to stupidity. 14/41 in my age group.
I always thought I was a fairly quick runner, but only compared to multisport athletes. The overall winner was 80% of my time.
