Escarpment 30k Trail Race - One and Done

4:53:36
79th overall out of 187
Date: 7/25/2010
Location: Windham, NY to North Lake in Haines Falls, NY
Comments: The race is called the Escarpment Trail Run 30K. For me it was more like a 15K trail run followed by a 15K hike. All in all it was a disaster; however, I am still glad for the experience. In many ways I was not adequately prepared for the race in addition to starting out too fast. Anyway about halfway through the race my legs cramped/stopped functioning like they have done at the end of most of my marathons . However, the big difference this time is that I had to navigate over boulders and technical/treacherous trails on legs that hurt with every step. All in all it made for a very long day.

From Wikipedia, "An escarpment is a steep slope or long cliff that results from erosion or faulting and separates two relatively level areas of differing elevations."
