I ran the Mt Glorious Mountain Trails on Sunday - 32km in the rain up the steepest most challenging course they could serve up - rocky fire trails creeks and grassy hills with loads of fresh cow shit.. slipperier than 10 banana peels that stuff - check out the course profile graph = steep. It was in brisbane forest park west of brissy. still feeling a bit tender in a few muscles today. I was a bit slower that I would have liked due to bugger all training and wearing my rubber surf booties - on ultra steep rocky downhills I had to mellow out a bit and alter my run style leading to some crazy full double leg cramps close to the end (hoo wee!! I wouldnt wish that on anyone) - maybe not the best choice of footwear for speed on this course. it was a bit like a 4hr foot treatment with a hammer and nails haha anyway made it and felt good at the finish. they served up some yummy treats too.
time 3:57:17 - place 23rd / 66
