I don't know why, but I was really nervous about this race. Maybe because it was the first race I've ran since I had my second daughter (who will be two in just a couple months). Or maybe because I've never done a trail race before and had no idea what to expect. Or maybe because it was the first race of this whole race team thing and I didn't want mess up. Actually, I think I was most nervous about tripping over a tree root or sliding on a rock and seriously injuring myself (anyone watch LOST?!). So I probably didn't run as fast or as hard as I would have liked to, but with all that said, I think I did ok. I really enjoyed the run. Christa and I stayed together the whole way and talked as usual, so it was just like any other run except for all those HILLS!!!! Nobody told me about all the hills! We run a lot of hills in Montclair. In fact you can't go for a run around here without hitting atleast two or three. But this race, it was one steep hill after another. It was hard! But it felt great to finish and even better to laugh with good friends before and after the race. Everyone did great, Christa, Michelle and Sherry. And our sister team, Speed Sisters, Jenny and Erin! Thanks for a great race.
