Three come to mind right away- having to run out of my comfort zone at the start to not get stuck behind the masses on the single track ahead. My first trail race I started off at my pace and ended up walking most of the first 3/4 mile once it went to single track, hopping into the thickets to get around people. But I love them! Great job and congrats on finding the love of the trails- the peace and tranquility!Erik Ammonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00425900877907841211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8479790493268535319.post-17753029406068413952011-08-12T00:01:34.427-04:002011-08-12T00:01:34.427-04:00Looks like a tough race!
