the Way of the Turtle

TURTLE ON THE ROAD, Part 3
LONG DISTANCE 2009 - Race #4
Muddy Moose 14mi Trail Race
Sunday, April 26, 2009

The Short Version: Ugh! Between the heat, the mud, and the hills this race kicked my backside good and hard. I should have been able to do much better than I did, but instead I ended up draggin' my sorry butt across the finish in 3 hr 38 minutes... sad, sad, sad for a 14 mile race that was mostly on dirt roads and wide snowmobile tracks. (But did I mention the heat... and the mud? Both were brutal.) I suspect I'm going to have to go back someday and redeem myself.

The Long Version: coming soon
