slept:6.0 shoes: Brooks Adrenaline (2019)
"Beware The Bear" trail race -- stage 1.
I brought along gloves, arm warmers, and a jacket, just in case. What I should have brought was shorts and a tank top for the amazingly warm & sunny weather (which was especially nice considering how bitterly cold & snowy it was two weeks ago on the original race date).
My stomach was unhappy the whole time, and I also felt like I should hold back for stage 2.

shoes: Brooks Adrenaline (2019)
"Beware The Bear" trail race -- stage 2.
The start went down a steep-ish & uneven asphalt road with lots of loose gravel, so I was dead-last getting onto the singletrack. But I picked off and passed some people throughout the two-loop course -- often on the uphill sections when they would start walking and I managed to keep running (very slowly, with tiny steps, but still "running"). :-P
Over the last mile, I tried to catch a woman I could see way out ahead of me. I caught up but couldn't pass her...so she ended up 3rd in our AG (but she hadn't done the 5K).
Thankfully my stomach settled down after the 5K and didn't distract me at all during this stage. Also, I didn't have any foot / toe hot-spots until just the last couple of miles.
Only 10 of us did both stages (the "double bear"), and I was 9th in that group.
