Turkey Trot: 61st Place

At 9am this morning some buddies and I ran the Turkey Trot 5K at Crystal Springs Cross Country Course, which is recognized as one of the most difficult cross country courses in the nation. Through the years many national cross country events have been held at this very challenging, hill-filled course which is just a few miles from my home.My buddy Brian and I tied for 61st place, finishing our 3 hilly miles in 23:35 (there were about 180 people in the race). I'm glad I beat the handful of junior high girls who were a part of the race, as my worst fear was finishing behind one of them.If you're a runner and you're interested in this difficult course, click the link above and scroll down to view a nice little video that shows the difficult terrain of this course, including the infamous "cardiac hill."PS.
