Park City Trail Series Part 3

15K Course Map

For the third race I ran a 15K and this time, Chase ran it with me.  We both got to Park City nice and early ready to run.

Chase was training for a Marathon, so he decided to sign up for this race.  I knew he'd be faster than me and I only saw him for a little while at the beginning.

I actually really liked this distance.  Trail running really is a blast.  Unfortunately my stomach did start hurting and I had to walk longer than I wanted.  It was really bad.  So of course, just as the other times this has happened, I tried to run faster once the pain ended in order to make up some time.

It was a gorgeous day and every time I saw a mile marker I was so happy.  

The end of the race is always the same.  I knew I was coming up to the end and tried to remind myself of where to start really pushing it.

I sprinted to the end and I finished!

Fierce Runners

I was really happy that there was at least someone cheering for me at the end. :)

I'm so happy Chase ran this race with me.  Even though I knew he was WAY ahead of me, it's fun to know that a friend is there to support you and enjoy the activity with you.

He's the better runner

In the end, Chase did REALLY well. In fact he killed it!  He got second in his age group.  I was so proud.  

I did alright.  Haha.
