This race was 15.6 miles of going up and down rocky mountains, through cactus plants and other things. The motto of this race is:
A Trail Run of Rugged and Brutal BeautyThe scenery was great! I stopped a few times to take some pictures. People were surprised that I did it with a camera. One guy told me that he wanted to bring a camera, but he didn't want to lose his concentration and drop the camera.
Other veterans were shocked that this was our first trail run, because apparently, it is a trail run for more advanced trail runners and definitely not recommended for beginners. LOL! Oops. Oh well. We both had a blast!
We camped the night before the race, ran the race and then headed to a small town to listen to one of his favorite bands.
Yesterday we went on a cave tour and had so much fun. I have never been to this cave before. The last time he was there was when he was in middle school. He said he remembered some of it.
All-in-all is was a great weekend!
Next year, we plan on doing the 50K! ACK! 30+ miles of the craziness! HAH.
Re: Our first 25K trail run this weekend!
Awesome job RP! Will you post some photos you took? I'd love to see!
Aww! Thanks!
I will definitely post pics. He has my camera right now, but once I get it back, I will post a few. I really never knew there are parts of Texas with that type of scenery.
They see us rollin'...they be hatin'.
This! Can't wait to see pics!
