So as the subject line states I did a run on Sunday.
http://ultrasignup.com/register.aspx?did=24151The Bandit Ultra Trail run in Simi Valley. Now my boss who is new to running decided to do this run and asked me to run it with him. I have never done a trail run but figured it might be some hills and on dirt. He opted for the 6K. So I signed up for the 6K. I tried talking him into doing the 15K but he refused. There was also a 30K and 50K!
Well I am glad I only did the 6K. This run kicked my arse! But how can you call it a run when you are practically going straight up a dirt bike trail over small boulders. The first two miles was straight up a hill!
Well I finished it in 28th place with a time of 55:39. I finished 6th place in my age group of 30-39. And there was a total of 66 runners. The top finisher did it in 34:06 and he was 14 years old!
I think I did really good for my first trail run. I always run flat with small hills on pavement. This is a totally different animal. My boss finished in 1 hour and 16 minutes and placed 61st. Not bad for only having been running for several months.
