Going to do an informal 3 mile trail race this afternoon. No entry fee, no bibs. I'll spend a bit of time on the trails getting there and back too.

Warmed up on the trails for 3 mile to commute to Valley Green. Warmish. About 80 or so. Wasn't sure if I wanted to race or just have fun. I ended up running fairly hard. Flat for ~3/10 of a mile, a decent climb, some single track, some sharp turns, and a kamakazee decent. About 200 meters of Forbidden drive. I stayed behind the lead pack and they slowly got away from me but I camped out behind a guy for a while. Sorry dude.

I hadn't been on this section so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I waited until about 2.5 miles and ran by him before the hill and bombed the descent. Sharp turn on to Forbidden Drive, and I kicked just under 250 meters out, running it in at 4:50 pace. Kicking in trail shoes. Never done that before.

Splits: 6:51, 7:49, 6:22

It was truly a fun race and got a little workout in even though I wasn't supposed to do anything hard until at least this weekend.

3 miles back home on the trails after standing around a little too long, but I met a few people and chatted with them.

Sounds like a lot of fun. Nice job Jason.

Really good way to get in a workout, nice job on this.

It was more of a workout than I planned but I have a another 5k in a week and I would like to take an honest crack at sub-17 (it's a certified course).
