Sloppy Cuckoo Trail Race 13.1 mi 02:09 09:50 pace

I need to get my head straight before these trail runs. I need to write 100 times on a sheet of paper "you will not run your normal half-marathon pace". Maybe actually running on the trails beforehand would help. I'm just always thinking some creeper is going to kidnap me and then my four children will be forced to a life of peanut butter and jelly at the hands of my non cooking husband.

This was a fun race though. We got cuckoo bird whistles instead of the usual medals. I even won a German Cuckoo Weather House. Lots of DM peeps were there and one aid station had beer and an accordion player and Bavarian dressed volunteers. Good times.

I took a nice spill on mile 5ish. It was like I was sliding for home plate in slow-mo. Trail running Is good. Nothing like getting your ass handed to you every now and then.

    It was great to see you again, and CONGRATS on your performance. And I get what you mean about not running your road pace. Totally different experience on the trails.

    I agree, do the runs beforehand if you can. I feel the same way on trail runs! Haha, hope your kids don't get left behind! Great job on your race! It does sound like a fun one. Where was this located?
