Pacifica Trail Run: forgot to add
Well, I totally blew it on adding this race to the blog. Whoops. I will try to remember details. Fun race. The best part, right by my new apartment. Super easy to get here and will be coming back for sure. So, I didn’t sign up and showed up to sign up on site. SOLD OUT! Go PC Trail Runs! They deserve it, they run a good event.
So, I stood in the back of the pack and waited for the start. Brian went to the front as he should, he is a fast dude. I saw Brett starting with the main pack and Amy was mixed in there too.
So, I waited….. a few minutes, then took off. Bad idea. Single track and no place to pass safe. WAITING>……. WAITING>…….. finally catch a break and start passing the crowd. Actually made it to the top ten within a few miles of climbing and descending. I was screaming down the first climb like my life depended on it. Why? Don’t know, felt good. So, descending the single track, I finally caught Brian. We cat and moused for a few loops, then I was at my 30KM mark and that was me. Brian continued to finish the 50KM. This guy named Nathan was ripping up the loops and headed out to the major climb about 10+minutes ahead of Brett and another guy. This was going to be a very fast 50KM race today. Nathan came in first, I thought Brett was second, but not sure. Results should be out and correct by now.
Pacifica is a beautiful venue and I was totally race it again. Next time, I will remember to sign up:)
