It was rainy and windy and cool. It was the very first event that Inside Trail Racing was putting on. A lot of people were watching, waiting, to see how this would turn out.... Well a bunch of us showed up in Pacifica and found a well organized, all around nicely organized and friendly run put together. BUTT SHOT The course was tough. Really tough. The first loop was a major climb, and up at the top of the mountain the wind gusts were unbelievable before the downhill back to the start/finish for the aid station. Setting back out for the pink loop I may have mistakenly convinced myself it was going to be easier than the first loop. It wasn't. We climbed and climbed for what seemed like forever. At one point I asked a woman behind me "is there a TOP to this?" She said no. This is what makes it all worth it. I showed up to race, but my legs didn't. I'm going to blame it on the fact that I wasn't quite recovered from running a back to back half marat
