I adored almost everything about this great, scenic race (including the perfect 60 degree weather), but, in the interest of brevity, here are some highlights:
1. Resting on the drive up in the full-length down comforter nest we built in the back of my Civic
2. Long sections of wonderfully evergreen-scented trail
3. Lots of bouncy little wooden bridges
4. Several sections of trail covered with bright, newly fallen red, orange, and yellow leaves
5. Views of quiet, rocky-edged ponds studded with boulders and beaver dams (I think)
6. Sharing many miles on foot with Catamount and many miles in the car with my fabulous crew/chauffeur Diana
7. Dramatic panoramic mountain views unfolding on both sides of the Pisgah ridgeline trail
8. Weirdly delicious ice tea at mile 25 which reversed my mental status decline
9. A large potted purple mum from the pick-your-own finisher award table
10. Resting in the nest on the drive home (despite some strange looks from truckers and a large cow peering out of its trailer)

Congrats to you and catamount. Shelly Girl and I have not run the race but we have run on those trails and loved them! Congrats on being the top Connecticut finisher, you guys rock.

Congrats on the race. Nice times. I loved that race and hope to one day get back to it. It is a beautiful area.
