Second in age group
31:53
I wasn’t setting the course on fire with my 9:54 pace, but I did have a good run at the Inaugural Emerald 5K Trail Race.
Kyle Amsdel (Euphoria) and Mickey Ryzmek (North Coast Multisports) put on a real first-class race. From the organization, to T-shirts to awards ($100 saving bonds, fleece blankets, Montrail ball caps and Montrail water bottles) this race race was top notch.
I can see this race growing each year. The course is rugged, with some muddy spots, and offers a good hill challenge, which is somewhat shadowed by the beautiful scenery – - NOT!
Seriously, the hill is comparable to a few steep climbs on the BuckeyeTrail; very manageable.
Keep this race in mind for 2009.
