Trial at Trail 51

Amber and Ty do a fantastic job with this 15k trail race.  It was a few weeks earlier than last years race and the leaves and trails were beautiful.  It starts up above the water tower and heads down towards Dry Canyon.  I am very familiar with that part of the trail and that was a lot of fun - but then the climbing begins!  I was lucky to have a guy from Midway that I ran with most of the way.  There were times when I kind of zoned out and got worried that maybe I took a wrong turn, but he was wearing a bright yellow shirt and whenever I spotted it I knew I was (probably) going the right way.  I ended up taking 3rd overall for women and Amber won.  The hot chocolate at the finish line was a nice touch and the post race food and raffle were awesome.
