Mud in your eye XC series

Did another 5k running race at Trashmore today! This time it was cross country with use of the hills. Strangely, my time was just a few seconds slower than when I did it on new years day on the flat running paths. Probably because I enjoy being off the pavement and being in the hills, and I actually ran a few times leading up to this one. I like it a lot, and feel like it's great off season cross training to keep things in order. Theres no way I can match that intensity on the bike.
Afterwards Danbo, Marco, and myself went for a urban assault ride down to Starbucks at the beach where we met up with our roadie brethren and shared different blends of coffees, and stories, and plans. On the ride back to Trashmore Danbo and I rode the out of service train tracks almost the whole way. Let me tell ya---That is one Helluva workout! We took some cool pics and video so watchout for a video mash up soon...

Below is the infamous kalerunning email sent shortly after the race. They're so fast and professional... I'm so impressed with how they run things. (get it? run...)
