While looking at the Tejas Trails events page to see what events might exist that would get me a supported trail run somewhere other than my normal haunts, I found this Texas Trail Festival. I feel like I'd heard the name, but it was all 'family friendly' and all day, and I didn't know what to make of any of that. BUT it turned out to have a ( Read more... )

Second year of doing Hell's Hills, aka what has become A Race To Get Me Off the Damn Greenbelt.

I saw a post about how this race was coming up, and I thought "30k! Training Peaks has for many weekends now had a '3 hour or 30k trail run' listed!" I've been doing 3 hours, but I could perhaps be convinced to run 30k if it were supported and marked for me, in a fun new place! Well, "new".

It occurs to me that it's possible there are still people out there who read my blog without it being linked, and who enjoy my race reports. In case that person exists, I apologize that I have not shared my Swimrun Lake James 2021 race reportIt's another co-written race report, and there are lots of ridiculous photos and even more ridiculous words ( Read more... )

Wow, first event of 2021, I guess. We were supposed to do Bandera, but the training for that just didn't work out, and I was still feeling discouraged from feeling so crappy at/about Mosaic, and there was still a pandemic raging furiously on, and so we withdrew and got credit to use for our next race.

Hooboy. I kinda just want to skip the 2020 year in review, but I know I'd be disappointed in myself in the future, that I didn't write anything.
