Old Mountain Trail 5K

I got up in the morning of the race and first thing I did was to check the temp. 18 that's a little chilly.  My buddy Kenny picked me up around 8:15 and we headed down to the race, we pulled in and registered then got ready to run the course as a warm up.  We had a good warm up and where ready for the 10am start, then we saw the huge line for registration then heard they pushed the start out to 10:30.  We ended up sitting in the truck for a while to keep warm then about 10:20 started to try to warm up again, which was difficult after working up a sweat on first warm up and the cold temps made for a very chilly start.

I knew the start was going to be hard, the single track in woods is tight and the first good hill is only a half mile into the race, and didn't want to get bottle necked behind a big group.  I felt gassed right off the start not a good feeling, I kept telling myself just settle into a nice pace. I pushed up the hill knowing there was a downhill I could recover on.  Then we hit the new cut trail it had a couple water crossing which i was able to get over without getting wet. then we hit the fields and then back into the woods for the last section before the finish.  I just never felt good, the whole race was a struggle.  It was unfortunate to have a bad race because it was a nice course, rocky root filled single track.

We decided to run the course a 2nd time as a cool down, finished the day with 9miles.  Even though I had a bad race it was still a fun day of running...
