| no partners | | First race of the year! Plan was to keep up my fitness level from the Prescott marathon, but then I got the RSV last October, so... yeah, I'm just happy that I finished.
Race start was at 7:15am (the full 50k route runners started at 7am) with about 90-100 others. Lots of good vibes at this tiny park in the dark morning. Kept a challenging 11:30 pace for the first 8 miles, which followed the San Tan trail south from Phillips all the way to Dynamite. The climb up Goldmine was absolutely punishing. Was able to get back into running mode after the climb, finishing the first loop (17K) in good form, but the second loop (9K, Hedgehog -> San Tan -> Goldmine) hurt and I walked multiple sections. Completed the race at the same time as the Kids Run was going, and my sweaty stumble across the line was deservedly overshadowed by them speedy lil' peeps.
This was my first Aravaipa race, or any type of trail race, and it was a lot of fun. Depending on how the next few (more boring) road races go this spring, I may end up sticking to the Desert Runner races in the future. |

Was able to (very slowly) jog from the top of Hedgehog to the parking lot, just in time to drive to kid's school and 30s after they were released.
