Saturday was the Lost Lake Run in Seward, AK. It felt so good to race again. Everything went perfectly smoothly, which is how you want races to go. The trail was in great shape, the weather was perfect. Afterward I waded into the ocean up to my hips and let my legs ice. There were even eagles soaring above me and a sea otter bopping around 5m away from me. I'm not even that sore-- just missing some skin off my feet.

Full Results can be found HERE. A summary of my times are below. Now I have to race at least once more because I really, really want to break the 2 hour mark.

The other result that jumped out at me as being fantastic was Mark Brady in 4th place overall with a time of 1:48:12. (Mark is Paige's brother and Paige used to kick my butt ski racing.) Paige ran too but had a little rock in her shoe at the start of the race and by the end that little rock had turned into a really big blister. ugh, there's so many things that can go wrong in these races.
