Congratulations, way to smash your goal! All that hill training paid off!

Thank you! I was definitely glad I did all the hill work.

Awesome job! Wow that's a lot of hills

Thanks! And honestly, I'm still at kind of the entry-level of hill training for a lot of trail races. Most have a lot more.

Congratulations! Don't you just love when a race goes well?

Thanks! And YES!

Wowowow! Great job!

Thank you!

Congrats on a well-run race!

Thanks so much!

Congrats on a great race!

Many thanks.

Great job. I know you prefer that weather but definitely cold for me. Glad it worked out for you and sounds like you had a terrific race. How is the knee holding up?

Thanks! This was a tad cold for me, but really it worked out ok. One of the biggest bummers with the cold is that I can't really hang out for long afterward, because I know my body temp is going to crash.

The knee is actually ok - no worse, certainly. It's a bit odd to have gone through a 25k-ish training plan with lots of hills and have the knee get better during that time, but I'll take it. I'm hoping my two weeks of from running will really help, too.

Great job!!

Thanks a bunch!

Thanks!

Nice work!!

Thanks so much!
