The Rogue Trail Series 2009

By

I’m thrilled to finish running in the Rogue Trail Series this year. I finished the last race this morning, called ‘The Bluff’ in about 54 minutes. Its probably the hardest trail race I’ve run so far, the course was very technical and I even managed to slip and get some cactus needles in my right hand. Fun!

On the bright side, I’ve managed to get 3rd place in the male division and won some hardware!

I only hope to improve my trail running skills in the future. For now, some rest is in order… to help with that, next week I’ll be cycling and drinking beer during the Austin Urban Assault race :)!

The Loop Trail Run

By

Yesterday, I had fun running The Rogue Trail Series: The Loop race. I managed to walk away with a time of 49:13 and placed 12th overall (6th in my age group). I could have ran a bit faster, the problem I faced was that I ran alone for the most of the race. That’s the downside of not blasting out of the gates… you sometimes end up in a position where you don’t have people to pace you to keep you up front.

Also, in my opinion, the terrain was a lot more technical than the first race in the series. The only thing missing was a little water… we had some in the last race and it was fun sliding around!

The final race in the series is on June 21st… my goal is to place in the top 10 somewhere. Wish me luck!
