Blackwater 10 mile Trail Challenge

Well I did it. I completed the Blackwater 10 mile Trail Challenge. My longest race or run ever. I had two main goals that I wanted to meet for this race. One, was to complete the entire race running, which I did. And the second was to stay on my feet, in otherwise I didn't want to eat dirt, and I managed that one as well. But only by the grace of God and Tina and Dawn yelling out in front where things were since we were on a single track trail. I also wanted to have some fun and I totally managed that. Plus, I made it through my longest race without getting sick to my stomach. Since I changed mid-run snacks I felt so much better. It was a great race and a great experience. And another race checked off my running bucket list.


Oh, I guess I could share my time! I ran it in 2 hrs 7 mins and 38 secs.


Here are some pics I took along the way to document.

My pre-race layout. Near the bathroom so I disturbed my sleeping husband as little as possible.

I don't have my Sweat Pink laces yet, but my trail shoes have pink laces that came in  them.
