My race report? Well, I didn't run far due to an injury, so I missed most of the action. what I can report on, however, is that it was a great day for a run with friends... at least those who took pity on my sorry, fat ass and ran with me at the back of the pack.
There was the requisite whining about the "dogleg" section by Run Rik and a handful of others. Nobody crossed a bear because it had been so cold of late that they all slept in. The bushes under the telephone lines on the Canyon Crawl section, which normally almost overgrow the trail, were not a problem at all as they were stunted.
Everyone who ran the section near the Cypress picnic area got muddy shoes as some sort of tractor had been through recently and tore up the undergrowth. Penny fell and got a boo-boo on her knee... I hope she heals in time to knacker it again during the Knee Knacker 50K next month.
A special "Congrats!" to Jonathan who ran his first ultra at the XTC. Thanks to Kintec, Trail Runner magazine and the Mosquito Creek Grill for the prizes and rehydration libations.
