Well, the weather cleared up nice. Blue skies and sunny.
The run was a blast, larger than the 2005 ChaCha. Someone broke the 7mi course record with a time of 39:30.
My time was 1hr 15min, a decent time considering the toughness of the course and it being my first trail run. More than one person had scrapped up legs, elbows, arms, bloodstained clothing, etc.
I found that the downhill parts were more dangerous than the uphill parts. With the uphill segments you could slow down and place your feet fairly well. Going down was a completely different ball game, you had to slow yourself down or get injured. A few people did get pulled out by the medical people with broken ankles.
However, I finished the 7mi run with plenty of gas left, meaning I need to run a longer distance next time.
