I ran the Rocky Raccoon 25k this past Saturday in 2:55. All week it looked like the conditions were going to be pretty wet but it ended up mostly okay. I did get stuck running the last 3+ miles in a pretty good downpour though!!
Paul S. the race director told me in a private message that this was a new course this year and I suspect it was a bit long. The aid stations were approximately 4, 7 and 12 miles. I hit the 4 in about 44 minutes, the 7 in 1:20 and 12 in 2:12. I wasn't exactly burning up the trail but I did zero walking until after the 7 mile aid station. I kept thinking that he didn't give exact mileage to each of the aid stations so they could have been 4.7 or .8 and a long 7 miles but I was seriously bummed it took me so long to get to the 12 mile aid station. I really, really felt like I was running faster than my time(s) indicated. Still waiting on final results, maybe everyone was a bit slow.
Even though I was bummed with my results I'm gonna keep on trucking....
