Note
Just registered for *everything*. As in: UNO Classic Champs (Blue), DVOA meet (Blue + dinner + wine tasting - should I play trail-o for the first time too?), and Raid the Hammer with Team Giggles to defend the women's title! Looking forward to it all!!
9 AM
Running race 1:38:48 [4] 25.0 km (3:57 / km) +43m 3:55 / km
Oak Openings Stampede
The first race that I've done twice here in Toledo! And it's an awesome one - 25k trail race (this year there was also a 50k option, but nope, too long for me!). I beat last year's time by 2.5 minutes, which is nice. I do feel like I'm in better shape, last year I had that ankle bone-bruise from the WOC relay that meant I couldn't run for a month.
Anyways, the race started real slow (7 min first mile) because lead dude was just taking his time (Matt Folk) and everyone knows he's faster so didn't feel like passing him. Kinda strange. But sped up 2nd and 3rd miles. Pack broke apart at around 5 miles, Kevin and I ran together for a bit, but then he dropped back a bit after 6 and I latched onto Yellow Guy. Stayed right on him for the remainder of the race. Actually a great pacer for me! He was doing the 50k, so had a whole other loop after I finished.
So nice to at least have one trail race here in Toledo!!

Mini warm-up. Because really, how much warm-up is needed for a 25k?
