Allerton 2008.

Today was my favorite race, The Allerton Park Trail Run. We had some rain a few days this week, so I was concerned about the course. It turns out my worries were valid.

The first water hazard was one we usually could jump over with ease. It comes within a mile of the start, so you're not dead tired. But, this year, too much rain made it impossible to avoid. Everybody got their shoes wet.

Mud and standing water were everywhere on the course. I nearly fell a few times, and I'm lucky I didn't tweak my ankle.

I had high hopes for a beter time. I did p.r by about a minute.

I finished 12th in my age group and somewhere between 75th or 77th overall. My time was 46:33.
