Clinton Lake 30 Mile Trail Run

Doug and I ran the Clinton Lake 30 Mile Trail Run yesterday and to say it was an awesome day is a gross understatement! The weather was 40's-50's, some sun but mostly cloudy. The wind was whipping on the ridge on the southeast side of the lake but otherwise not an issue. The course was in fine shape with minimal shoe-sucking mud. The aid station and volunteers were world class!

Ella provided a good luck duck and it definitely helped. Doug finished in 5:33, 38th overall, and I ran a 6:07, 50th overall.

I felt strong most of the day and ran a little easy on my sore left calf until about 22 miles when it seemed like it really was not an issue and I stopped trying to favor it.


After the race the Fat Tire Doug brought really hit the spot as did the Domino's pizza.

Overall a great day, a great course and a great race! Kudos to Chris for his swan song event. He's leaving big shoes to fill.

Next event for me is the Double Chubb 50K. Next event for Doug is the birth of he and Leslie's baby! Wish us both lots of luck!
