Describe your race day.

It wasn't what I had expected. Although it was down the hill but it's still a hill race which is curved hurt my back really badly. The steep slop on 3-4 miles should be scraped out, I hated that badly.
Did you PR?

Yes but did not meet it.
How would you describe the course?

Tactic but well organized
Tell us about your training.

I ran 20 miles once, 18 twice and several 13-15 miles practice but never a trail race practice. The closest I got to do one was the Dam Train trail race in midway.
I will practice more on hills.
What advice would you give future runners?

Practice longer if you can go for more that 20 miles please do and make it a hill race.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

Meet some interesting people with Amazing stories and the volunteers were awesome. They kept encouraging us.
