So I ran a 10 mile trail race today. The weather was great. The run felt perfect and I ran a great time, for me, on a trail. A super nice trail runner named Vince, who was out for a weekend long run, ran the last mile with me. Everyone was super supportive, as all runners are.
I was the only woman there above the age of 40-49, so I came in 39 out of 39 women, and 106th overall (DFL!!!). But since I was first in my age group (and technically in the 2 age groups under mine), I won a gift certificate, commemorative glass, and water bottle. I love, love, love the wildcat finisher's medal and shirt.
It still stings to be last, but DFL beats DNF beats DNS.... I guess that will have to become my new mantra.
(PS, only 767 ft elevation gain, but there were rocks, roots, and 1 small stream crossing which we crossed twice)
