Eurocross 5k and 8k races
Exercise: (Saturday) - Saturday I did the Eurocross 5k and 8k races at UAH. These races are run on trails with hay bales to hurdle and numerous creek/mud crossings. The 5k was 5 loops of a 1k loop with 2 creek crossings per loop. First time in mud was up to my calves. Spectators enjoy standing by the creek watch runners "faceplant" into the water. Finished 12/100 overall and first in age group (since Marty Clarke was overall Master's winner and thrown out). Time was 22:26 (7:14 per mile). Then the 8k was 4 loops of a 2k course with 3 creek crossings per loop and a "gully" crossing which had a rope to hang into because it was so steep. Really tired and dehydrated in this race, ran 40:05 (8:04 per mile) - 1st in age group, 17/42 overall. Total for the day was 22 creek crossings!
