Running Fit sponsors the “Serious Series” of three trail races every year. The second race in the series is the “Flirt with Dirt” held in Novi Michigan’s Lake Shore Park. This is a nice 10K run though the woods, with some hills, but no killers like the Roads End held earlier this year!
“A few photos from the race.” The Chief Photographer got a few long range photos as I made the first loop around
the area then got in place for the struggle up the hill to the finish line!
- Some stats for the race:
a) 6.1 Miles
b) finished 200 out of 600 overall
c) finished 6 out of 8 in my age group.
d) finished xx out of 130 men.
e) had a 9:44 pace, 1:00:31 total. (Not a pr for this distance… but the hills, the hills…)
f) You can see the full details on the running stats web page.
h) had a great time – which is always the goal right?… Right!
The course starts with a nice downhill for 50 yards, loops the soccer field, through the parking lot and then into the woods. In the woods a lot of the trail is definately single track
where passing is very difficult. People get impatient with slower people, but finally get around to pass… ????? ???? ???? me I’m normally happy coasting along until there is enough trail width for me
to sort of slowly creep by the slower person. Doesn’t happen to often though. ???? 21
Until the final muddy trail is run,
