Summer Roundup Trail Run 12K

Leg two of the TCR – check!

Mark, Rhonda and I ran the Summer Roundup Trail Run 12K yesterday.   As mentioned, this 12K is the second leg of the Triple Crown of Running with an out-and-back course that gains 1000 feet of elevation in the first 3.7 miles before runners turn around and enjoy the downhill return to the finish.

My race time (1:22:21) was pretty similar to my times during our training runs and I am satisfied with that… it’s a tough run.

    Good job, you are so lucky to be surrounded by those awesome trails! I love your fueled by chia shirts! Where did you find those?

  • Keeprunningirl

    Thanks Rachel….my running buddy ordered those shirts for us – our group loves a good chia shake before long runs or races!

  • Rachel

    would this be your hemp protein shake? I'm still looking for a good pre run fuel that's quick and simple. May have to try this one!
