Horseman 34 - 6:07:01 ave 10:44

Had a great time out in Elgin, IL for a trail race of 34 miles.  What a strange distance, but it was a nice loop course just under 7 miles per lap.  Nice easy pace and still had some in the tank.  It was really muddy and we had to go through some places where standing water was about a foot deep, but that sure made it interesting.  Met a lot of cool people and enjoyed a day without rain, what a blessing that was!

Here are my splits:

Cross Roads Marathon 3:34:00

Here are a few pictures of the course, and here for some of me.

Had a nice week of running.  Did a 5K in 18:16 then two days later hit a nice pace marathon in 3:34:00.  My pace was off in the marathon, but I didn't look at my watch once and they didn't have mile markers posted so I kept my mind off the run and just had a great time.  Here is the medal (twist your head) and my 5K times; pretty proud to run that fast in my fivefingers!  You will see my name under #11; Jeff Bott
