I ran this race mainly because it was cheap, and the perks seemed good. Entry was only $35, which included a tech shirt, a couple of free beers, a free brewery tour, and a fun after party. Not that I especially enjoy shorter races, but I also knew that a lot of my GOATz friends would be running it too, not to mention that it would be on the trails at Mahoney State Park. I know they exist, but really haven't been on them. It turned out to be about 0.4 miles short. Yeah, I know trail races are usually "around" the expected distance, but this was really short. I did run really well though, 114th out of 1047 runners, 90th out of 505 males, so I was happy with that.
And my foot felt Ok. The ball hurt a little, but it was manageable. The weather was absolutely gorgeous. Perhaps a little breezy, but sunny skies. The Lucky Bucket beer was good, and I bought a grilled hamburger, the smell was just too much to resist. All in all, it was a worthwhile event.
