Personal refection #1: Trail racing is different than running on my treadmill while watching Sports Center. :)

Personal refection #2: Next time, I'm taking my iPod.  

Personal reflection #3: I should plan to finish, not to win. 

Personal reflection #4: Life is a lot like an endurance oriented trail race.  There are ups and downs. Pace is required. It is not paved. Sometimes you want to quit. Being with others facing the same challenges helps to keep you going.
