Tracy
~ 31 degrees at the start.
Did way better than I thought I would have based on recent training (past 2 months have sucked). Didn't enjoy the sand or cold wind but overall a good race.

Great job on the trail race! Hope any scrapes and bruises heal up quickly. Was it pretty muddy? A friend & I were planning to go, but the overnight rain had us glad we didn't preregister.

It wasn't very muddy at all. Even one of the 2 stream crossings had dried up.
