I ran my second Barr Trail Mountain Race last weekend. I don’t have anything dramatic or spectacular to report. I ran the course in about the same time that I’ve been running the last few training runs on the mountain. The heat was pretty intense and I didn’t push the downhill segment but I completed the race within the 3:30 cutoff. I definitely did better last year.. but I made a decision going into the race this year that I was not going to risk injury on the way down. (Barr Trail Mountain Race 2010). Speeding down Barr Trail can be fun…but painful!

to Barr Camp and back

With BTMR behind me, I spent the week preparing for this weekend’s Epic Rocky Mountain Relay… 200 miles from Colorado Springs to Crested Butte, 2 vans, 12 runners. I wasn’t sure what to expect but I can honestly say that it was one of the most fun, amazing and rewarding experiences that I’ve ever had. I will be posting much more about this event soon.
