97 Min Run (Race) --158.5-- (TOPANGA XTERRA)

TOPANGA CYN, Calif. -- Some crazy Xterra race up in the State Park. Ran with two members of Team Turbo, JDP and Caroline. I opted for the 15k, which was some kind of official Xterra series race for points and standings. They had some top flight runners there for sure.

I took it pretty carefully, but it was still pretty challenging. Crazy trail from mile 2 to 5. CRAZY. Like barely able to "run" upon. Shoe came untied. Hat got knocked off. Nutty.

But basically just cruised up the climbs and glided down the drops. Good time. Stopped for water and took an indulgent two minute+ urination break. If you look, I probably lost 20 or 30 places in that. But the finish was much more enjoyable. And I wasn't winning isht.

Good times. Here's a herky-jerky video, which could have shown the Pacific in the background and the Topanga State Park hills all over. And my sweet "Scary Fast" Team Turbo shirt.



Hit breakfast with JDP, Caroline and Jay Kav after at the Georgian Hotel in Santa Monica. Gorgeous day. T-day is always so awesome.
