Catalina state park 5 miler

This morning I took part in a 5 mile trail race in Northern Tucson. The course is raced clockwise in the spring and then counter clockwise in the fall. With all the stomach problems I've been having I did this just as an easy run rather than a race . It was a beautiful course and I had a lot of fun.

Course: 5.2 on trail, one point had 90-some stairs to climb. Mostly sand and packed trail.

Time: 58 min

Gear: skirt sport speed silk skirt, brooks long sleeve tech tee, Adidas socks, brooks cascadia, Nathan hydration belt, sweaty band, sunglasses

Fuel: 14 oz water (only took 2 swigs due to stomach), uneaten spots beans

Felt: Good! This was a fun run that I will definitely do again. Small and well organized.

Best part: organizers handed out packets of sunblock.

Lesson learned: running in sand give me side stitches.
