A return to foot races

It has been over a month, but I have finally done a race that didn’t involve any biking or swimming. On Wednesday night I ran the penultimate leg of the Dirt Cheap Trail series at Durand Eastman Park near the shore of Lake Ontario. I finished with a time of 50:09. Unfortunately some of the later waves ended up taking some major shortcuts so I am unable to compare my time to the field.

Surprisingly I was more or less recovered from the Tri, but it was an extremely hot day which slowed down my run a bit. Were I to do the course again on a cooler day (and not taking two wrong turns), I think I could easily improve my time.
