Anyone living in North Carolina knows that Saturday was a cold and rainy day. Despite the weather and being one person down we went forward on all cylinders, hitting what I call the "fifth gear." Don't get me wrong though, we were all scared to DEATH of what the trail would deliver. Turns out the trail delivered 7 miles of what most consider to be a slip and slide of mud. But we made sure that we recieved our money's worth of mud and dirt (check out the header pic of my 2140 trail shoes).It was great to see Amy just rock (literally) her first trail race. We are so proud of her!! Her Cascadia trail shoes are no longer teal and I am sure they no longer have that new shoe smell.
As for Olivier he rocked it as well with a time of 1:52 for the 14 mile race, placing him 18th. He was the only one of us to brave the 14 miler, while I opted out and just did the 7 miler. All in all we had an awesome time!
