I won't ever do that City of Trails 10K run again! Too dangerous. Up and down hills, rocks big and small, tree roots, mud and mush in places, and a couple of places where only a billy goat could run. Very steep on both sides and the trail is only maybe 2 feet wide there. About half the run was on the Ice Age Trail and very difficult. My number one goal quickly became not to get hurt and I did accomplish that. 1 hour and 16 minutes for me to finish but I didn't care as long as I didn't come away with a twisted ankle or broken leg. Even at that I was 2nd place in my age group. Of course, there were only 2 men over 60 foolish enough to sign up for this.
Mom got 2nd place in her division for the 5K walk! She was so surprised when they called out her name! Fun!

That does sound so dangerous! What in the world are they thinking?! I mean, they've done this many times in the past, right? Do you know how many people were racing?
I'm glad you survived. And didn't get injured. And came in second! Regardless of how many. And yay mom, too!
I checked out your weather and it looks like you had a beautiful day!
238 people finished the 5K and 58 people finished the 10K. More than I thought in the 10K. Yes, they've done this race for years so some people like a trail like that I guess. Not me though.
