QR track from yesterday's trail race
I ran a 5K-ish trail race yesterday at Clinton State Park. The race began at "campground 1" and headed east from the start. I carried the orienteering map, keeping track of where I was and glancing around now and then. Not much to say about my race. I kept a decent effort, but wasn't moving as fast as I'd have liked.
I liked the course. For the most part the trail was fast. A few spots had a bit of mud and the trail along the shoreline was a bit rough.
The Lawrence Trail Hawks - a trail running club - hosted the race. The turnout was small, maybe 20 runners (a 1:1,500 scale version of Lidingoloppet). It was a really nice start to the weekend.
