It was pretty fun working the aid station this morning at Inside Trail's Woodside Crossover race. The sun came out around the same time the first runners arrived, and we were able to get everyone in and out as quickly as they wanted to.
Didn't run out of anything, even though it seemed like everyone wanted watermelon. Then a little more watermelon.
And best of all, no injuries and no one missed the cutoff!

It hurts to walk now, but I ran my first 50mi race.
Did the MUC (Marin Ultra Challenge). It was an ideal day for running, foggy in the morning, then sunny and not too hot. The climb out of the Willow Camp aid station sucked, as did the one out of Muir Woods. The nicest section was from Tennessee Valley to Muir Beach. So pretty. And 10,500 vertical feet is a lot to do in one day.
Finished in 9:49.
finished the #InsideTrail Woodside Ramble 35k #trailRace in 7:42:58!
21+ miles for the 21st. Happy Winter Solstice!
One last dance for 2024. Drove down 101 and saw the orange sunrise between the East Bay mountains and stormy cloud cover. Made it to Huddart Park, parked, got my bib, pinned it to to my shorts, left my drop bag on a picnic table, and lined up to start just in time.
It was overcast and as we made our way up the hill, the drizzle then rain and wind began. The deep forest protected us from most of it.
The recent storms had downed a large tree which blocked part of the original course. The organizers had to re-route the 35k course (and the 55k) into a series of loops. This was my first 3 loops race!
It was harder than expected (the course changes added lots more vert) but I finished healthy, no pain, no soreness, so I'll take it, along with my second DLF trophy. I’m starting a collection.
Started the year with a rainy 30k race (Redtail Ridge¹), finished the year with a rainy 35k (with ~60% more vert! nearly 4400'). Seven races in 2024 
Good notes to end on for this year’s trail racing season.
