Because when you're out on the course, all that's there is your internal monolog

How cool is that!

My 1st ever real trail run.  Certainly my 1st 1/2 Marathon trail run…

…and I claim 3rd in my age group!

I’m pretty chuffed, completely unexpected, almost didn’t even check the standings before I left because I’m just not that fast and my time on this course was certainly not one of my faster (2:13:24) but I guess with the terrain (OMG hills – made the Muskoka 1/2 Marathon course look flat) my 2:13 was fast enough.  I wasn’t far off the mark for 2nd (4 minutes), but almost 30 minutes off the mark for 1st in my age group (age group winner was 5th overall).

So yea 🙂 Yay me! 🙂  My 1st podium!!! Hurray!!! 😛

Big ups to the folks who organize Brazen Racing – I’ve been in much larger events with poorer aide stations and poorer grab-bags and t-shirts.  You guys do a great job.  Super-big-ups to the volunteers!  You guys were amazing.  Thanks!  Your cheering, hootin and hollerin make it so much more fun!
