Mike and I did a 10 Mile trail run (race) in the Mohonk Preserve this AM. I have not been running more than about 3-5 miles at a time, so it was going to be a challenge. It was called the Pfalz Point Trail Challenge. We go up to the Mohonk area a couple of times of year to mountain bike, and it is amazing. It is in the 'Gunks which is also a great area to rock climb. Anywhoooo, the trail racers were quite a hardcore bunch as runners can be. Mike was a good sport and ran slow with me. We were wondering if there would be a Clydesdale division, because we outweighed our fields by 30-40 pounds easily. There were some scary anorexic and manorexics there. I wonder what the course profile was, because I swear we climbed for 7 miles and ran downhill or flat for maybe 3. There was also some tricky single track, and I did not want to repeat my Bear Mountain spazz knee dislocation, so I took those really slow. I usually wipe out at some point on trail runs, but I stayed upright. There were also some really steep climbs. Anyways, I was happy I was not last and survived.
