Before my first every trail race...socks and shoes are still nice and clean, and I'm feeling good about this new experience. Uber H ran with me and even carried the water for us...as well as took a few pics :)
(Left) This is the second loop on the bridge, we are more spread out. On the first loop, we had to stop because we could only cross one at a time. (Right) Most pictures taken during the run were like this one...blurry, but I was smiling.
Trying to sidestep some deep mud!
There was only one real technical difficulty and it was the MUD...serious crazy mud (it looked like it was done purposely). A few people lost their shoe and had to stick their hand in to pick it up. Messy! But really a lot of fun. The atmosphere on the trails is completely different than during a road race. Not better or worst, just different, perhaps a bit more variety and fun. I'm definitely going to try something like this again...hopefully with less mud holes.
After the race! :)
Cheers everyone!!!

Congrats on your first trail race! I love trail racing, so much fun.
You look like you had heaps of fun.
I have to run on trails almost everyday here on my place. So, when I get some pavement to run on it really is great. Each has its place...sort of like life: a balance.
