Ran my first trail race!

LTKeegan

Today I ran my first trail race! 5.5K in 40:16, which was 12 minutes faster than what I ran on Monday. Also, I proved that I could run the whole thing, so now I need to stop whining about how hard my runs are and how I'm bad at running.

Here are some pictures of the race. Before and After

Hey! I ran the same race and it was my first too! Except I did the 9.5K distance (because I'm crazy!)

I only have road shoes, so that slip 'n slide hill at the turnaround was ridiculous! I could only laugh (and try not to wipe out).

I think I'm hooked on trail running now. And I think I'd better go buy some proper trail shoes.

Oh my god how awesome!! Yeah, I just got new trail shoes and I raced up (and down) that hill. So much fun!!!! There is a five peaks series in southern Ontario that I'm thinking of doing. All trail races! My goal is to do a 10K trail race by the end of the summer!

Yes! I'm considering the 5peaks races as well. And more of the MEC races too! And a couple triathlons…I'm going to be BUSY!
