This race was so challenging. I spent a whole lot of it hiking (which is half of what trail running is, as I now understand!) The views were incredible and the fall leaves beautiful, so I do believe it was worth it. But man, I did not anticipate that first very long climb. I had run this race before, but a different course. So it really did take me by surprise! Jonny ran an incredible race and felt really good. It was a lovely morning to be in the mountains.
