Holcomb Valley 33 Mile Trail Run

Running in Big Bear is always fun for me.  It has always been my 2nd home for me.  Going into the race I was feeling a little worried because of the recent knee pain and lack of training.  Taylor, Steve and I headed up for the day for a fun filled day of single track.  This race is no walk in the park and I was beyond under prepared.  The race kicked my booty but I was able to finish - in a very very slow time.  I cramped starting at mile 18 and continued to do so all the way to the point of having to sit on a curb about 100 feet from the finish line.  Lame.  Oh well.  I still had a lot of fun and am happy that I gave it a go.  Revenge is necessary.  Taylor finished her race in a great time and stuck around to volunteer and Steve also kicked butt as usual.  The best part was the wonderful breakfast at the Shack afterwards. 

33 miles - 7:35:01 - 13:47 mpm


Bustin moves before we busted moves on the course!

The struggle to the finish

Happy to be done!

Cramping...still

Ouch

Dude that followed me for 4 hours checking in on me.  Thanks for the talks good sir.



Showoffs!



Steve must have missed a turn.  Or he was just taking advantage of the ice bath.



Food time.  All done with this trail!
