Mount Roseau Trail Run

I had just run the day before. It was supposed to be a recovery day for me. But somehow I was drawn to it like a moth to the light... 

Yesterday was the first ever Mount Roseau Trail Run. It was also my first ever trail run. 

A few years ago I did a post on what is known as Mount Roseau. Here are a couple photos from that post:


Jamie set up two races - a 10K and a sort of 5K (actually 3.8 miles - .7 miles extra for no additional cost).

It was a pretty cold morning, so only three of us showed up for the 5K:

Since I was in recovery mode, my only goal was to finish. I fully expected to simply jog and probably walk a good portion of it. As it turns out, I didn't have to walk at all.

I was very careful to watch where I was going so as not to turn an ankle:

My watch kept track of every step. This is the map it drew of every twist and turn!

Finally, the end was in sight:

Finally, after 47:46, I crossed the finish line taking second place!
