Last weekend, I had a lot of fun running in my favorite trail running series of the year: Capt’n Karl’s. The first race of four is in Pedernales Falls State Park which is just a beautiful part of the Texas hill country:

The scenery was beautiful minus having to run through some deep pockets of water and what seemed to be a river… my shoes were filthy afterwards! I opted to do the 10km this time around and finished in a decent time of 48:28 running about a 7:41 pace:
I even managed to get 5th place overall which came as a surprise since I wasn’t running as hard as I could be. I guess all the pros were running the 30k and 60k 🙂
hah the 5th place prize Is an armadillo art piece, thanks! pic.twitter.com/j2MqJRSjm9

Looking forward to the next race in Muleshoe Bend on July 18th, I’ll try harder this time around and see if I can crack the top 3 🙂
